If yes, are you sure your application is not eating up the remaining part of the exception stacktrace? I would have expected a lot more details to be present in the stacktrace when this exception occurs. LocalJndiCallAction.java is probably your application's action class. Does it just print the exception "message" instead of printing out the entire stacktrace? Its really difficult to understand what the issue is without the entire exception stacktrace. Btw, anonymous wrote : java.naming.provider.url=localhost:8080/BessyWeb This jndi url is incorrect. It should be: java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099 But i don't think this is causing the exception. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4161329#...
