I work with JBoss 7.1.1 and Eclipse. I just finished a part of my DAO and want to test it using TestNG. Since I use Struts 2 I can't really use dependecy injection, so I thought about Service Locator. The problem is I get java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory when running the test method ( http://pastebin.com/c16kQz5f full stacktrace) which triggers my delegate business method using my service locator. The properties for the locator : {code} private ServiceLocator() throws NamingException   { Properties props = new Properties(); props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099"); context = new InitialContext(props);   } {code} The JNDI string : {code} dao = (UtilisateurHome) ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("java:global/businessLayer/UtilisateurHome"); {code} I'd appreciate any inputs. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/748814#748814] Start a new discussion in JNDI and Naming at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
