All this while, i have been assuming that since localhost:1099 is the default URL that will be used by JBoss, he need not specify it as part of the InitialContext or jndi.properties. Probably pass all the JNDI related properties to the InitialContext constructor and see if that works: | Properties props = new Properties(); | props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); | props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"jnp://localhost:1099"); | props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jboss.naming.jnp.interfaces"); | Context ctx = new InitialContext(props); | ctx.lookup(.....); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4141881#...
