<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hello everyone,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Im starting to develop with JBoss, and got stuck while trying to create my first application.</p><p>Im running JBoss 7.0, maven 3.0.3, Eclipse Indigo 3.7</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>So, I started with a Hello World Project just to test if my setup was correct, and it worked, I succesfully deployed the project and acces it through a web page.</p><p>Then I tried to create a Hello World from my own, but this time I wanted to access my bean from a client application. So I deployed another bean to the server, so far so good, but then I created another project to create a test client application, and I got the following error</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file:  java.naming.factory.initial</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>So I start searching in the web and read a lot of forums (before posting a question that surely was previously asked) and everyone said the same, I needed to add a jndi.properties file to my classpath, so I did, and the error still appeared, then I followed a basic tutorial for  stateless session beans, and did as the tutorial specified, which was the same as I was doing, but insted the client application class, was in the same project, I added the jndi file and the error was still coming up.</p><p>I have the following structure</p><p>SampleEJBProject</p><p>  -ejbModule</p><p>     -com.code.project</p><p>         -XXX.java</p><p>         -YYY.java</p><p>         -jndi.properties</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>This is how I have the file configured</p><p>java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory</p><p>java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099  (already tried with jpn:// at the beginning)</p><p>java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I searched on how could I be sure that my file was being used and found</p><p>loader.getResources("jndi.properties")</p><p>Which returns null.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Ive already places the jdni.properties file in the root folder of the classpath and it didnt work.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Is there configuration I may be missing?</p><p>Do I need to place jdni.properties file somewhere else?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thanks in advance!</p></div>
