All right, this is just scratching the surface, but...

In order for a web application to access an EJB, you need to add an
"EJB Reference" to the web application for each EJB that the web
application is going to use.  The EJB reference puts the EJB in the
web application's private JNDI space.  There's one last wrinkle, which
is that an EJB may have home & remote interfaces, localhome & local
interface, or all 4.  For a web application that's going to use EJBs,
you'll want to use the localhome & local interfaces, because the
performance is better (the local approach only works for clients in
the same JVM as the EJB).  I mention that because technically there's
different syntax to create a remote EJB reference and a local EJB
reference for the web application, and I'm only going to describe the
local syntax here.

Now, your Tiger EJB already has local home and local interfaces, so
everything's fine on the EJB side.  To set up the EJB reference, add a
block to your web.xml like this:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" version="2.4">
    ...
    <ejb-local-ref>
        <ejb-ref-name>ejb/Tiger</ejb-ref-name>
        <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
        <local-home>com.zoo.example.TigerLocalHome</local-home>
        <local>com.zoo.example.TigerLocal</local>
        <ejb-link>Tiger</ejb-link>
    </ejb-local-ref>
</web-app>

So long as your web application and the EJB are in the same EAR, this
is all you need.  If they were separated, you couldn't necessarily use
the ejb-link element and you might need to add some information to
geronimo-web.xml instead.

In the block above, the ejb-ref-name controls where in JNDI the EJB
will appear, the next three elements have to match the similar fields
in the ejb-jar.xml for this EJB, and the ejb-link must match the
ejb-name for that EJB in the ejb-jar.xml.  The exact JNDI location the
web app should use to access the EJB is "java:comp/env/" plus the
value of the ejb-ref-name -- so in this case, it would be
"java:comp/env/ejb/Tiger".

Now, I'm not sure what your TigerUtil class does, but this is what the
code would look like for a web application to use this EJB:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
TigerLocalHome home = (TigerLocalHome)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/Tiger");
TigerLocal tiger = home.create();

The TigerUtil class probably hides some of this by declaring a
constant for the JNDI location of the EJB, and so on.  But you're
calling the wrong method on it if it returns a TigerHome -- you want a
method that returns a TigerLocalHome, as I mentioned above.  If
TigerUtil is a generated class and has a different JNDI location than
java:comp/env/ejb/Tiger to look up the TigerLocalHome, then you can
change the ejb-ref-name in your web.xml so the JNDI location will
match whatever TigerUtil is using.

Thanks,
     Aaron
