Gurus, here is my situation: I have a JMX bean deployed via Spring's MBeanExporter. Several of the methods new up an InitialContext() for various operations. This works just fine when I invoke the methods via the JBoss JMX console. But if I try to invoke them through JConsole or programmatically through RMI, I get a ClassNotFound exception: javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory] I've googled high and low to find a solution, but none has presented itself. Any ideas? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4194678#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
