User development, A new message was posted in the thread "jndi.properties vs bindings-jboss-beans.xml": http://community.jboss.org/message/528556#528556 Author : Brian Stansberry Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/bstansberry@jboss.com Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- You shouldn't need to provide any URL at all for a client running inside the AS to find the Naming server running inside the AS. The Context implementation class has a static reference to the in-VM naming server and uses that if no java.naming.provider.url is provided. That's why specifying a java.naming.provider.url breaks things or at best slows them down if what you're trying to do is access the local server. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/528556#528556
