Remote client EJB IIOP lookup fails when wfly context factory lookup is used ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-5345 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5345 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: IIOP Affects Versions: 10.0.0.Beta2 Reporter: Ondřej Chaloupka Assignee: Tomasz Adamski Priority: Critical I'm not 100% sure that this is a bug as there could be some misconfiguration from my side. Plus I do not know if wildfly-iiop-openjdk is expected to be used on client side. When I try to use ejb lookup from client side with usage of IIOP {code} System.setProperty("com.sun.CORBA.ORBUseDynamicStub", "true"); final Properties prope = new Properties(); prope.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.wildfly.iiop.openjdk.naming.jndi.CNCtxFactory"); prope.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.iiop.naming:org.jboss.naming.client"); prope.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "corbaloc::" + serverName +":3528/JBoss/Naming/root"); final InitialContext context = new InitialContext(prope); final Object ejbHome = context.lookup(beanClass.getSimpleName()); return homeClass.cast(PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ejbHome, homeClass)); {code} I get exception {code} java.lang.NullPointerException: null at org.wildfly.iiop.openjdk.service.CorbaORBService.getCurrent(CorbaORBService.java:222) at org.wildfly.iiop.openjdk.naming.jndi.CNCtx.initOrbAndRootContext(CNCtx.java:227) at org.wildfly.iiop.openjdk.naming.jndi.CNCtx.<init>(CNCtx.java:99) at org.wildfly.iiop.openjdk.naming.jndi.CNCtxFactory.getInitialContext(CNCtxFactory.java:53) at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:684) at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:313) at javax.naming.InitialContext.init(InitialContext.java:244) at javax.naming.InitialContext.<init>(InitialContext.java:216) at org.jboss.as.test.jbossts.client.utils.TxUtil.lookupIIOP(TxUtil.java:90) {code} If I use the context factory class from my local java 8 oracle jdk/open jdk {{com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory}} then it works fine. I can see that the {{NullPointerException}} is thrown from here https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/master/iiop-openjdk/src/main/java... which pointing me to suspicion that the iiop library expects a WFLY running to get service registry. But it is not available on client side.
