[jboss-user] [JNDI/Naming/Network] - javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Can't find property:

[joepareti]

I am developing a demo based on JBOSS 4.2.0.CR2 on Linux RHEL 3/x86.
The demo includes an EJB (stateless session bean), and a client app that requests services from the bean.

I invariably get the following rt error when launching the client as 
# ant runClientApp

[java] javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Can't find property: java.naming.factory.initial
[java] at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(j ava.util.Hashtable) (/lib/ssa/libgcj.so.4.0.0)

[java] at za.co.solms.finance.calculators.LoanCalculatorClie nt.main(java.lang.String[]) (Unknown Source)

my jndi.properties, available in classpath and also under $JAVA_HOME, is as follows:
(I also saw jndi.properties is included in the client jar file, so I assume it is taken into account):

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.Nam ingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.namingrg. jnp.interfaces
jnp.socketFactory=org.jnp.interfaces.TimedSocketFactory
#Connection timeout (0 == blocking)
jnp.timeout=0
#Read timeout (0 == blocking)
jnp.sotimeout=0

Finally, I started playing around with the client code by e.g. changing the name of the bean in the lookup function ...

Object beanHomeRef
= jndiContext.lookup(jndiName);

into

Object beanHomeRef
= jndiContext.lookup("local/ejb/LoanCalculator");

but without any results
