I think the text is referring to the jndi.properties file. For JBossAS, this file should contain: java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory | java.naming.provider.url=jnp://yourhostname:1099 | java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces Where 'yourhostname' is the name or IP address of the host running JBossAS. You can place this file anywhere. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4187774#...
