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

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 javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx() (/lib/ssa/libgcj.so.4.0.0) [java] at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx (java.lang.String) (/lib/ssa/libgcj.so.4.0.0) [java] at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(java.lang.Strin g) (/lib/ssa/libgcj.so.4.0.0) [java] at za.co.solms.finance.calculators.LoanCalculatorPane l.connect() (Unknown Source) [java] at za.co.solms.finance.calculators.LoanCalculatorPane l.init() (Unknown Source) [java] at za.co.solms.finance.calculators.LoanCalculatorPane l.LoanCalculatorPanel() (Unknown Source) [java] at za.co.solms.finance.calculators.LoanCalculatorClie nt.LoanCalculatorClient() (Unknown Source) [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 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4117059#...
