User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Remote vs. Local client lookup of same JNDI object": http://community.jboss.org/message/525194#525194 Author : Ben Cotton Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/ben.cotton@rutgers.edu Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for this quick reply .... very interesting ... and, I think you might be correct.   Consider the following Java client code (modified slightly from what was posted earlier above).  The 'factory' lookup() still returns NULL every time.  But, the 'q' lookup() returns the correct value of a remotely hosted JBoss  JNDI object reference named 'IVTQueue' (that also uses IBM's JCA adapter to bridge to a WSMQ implementation of javax.jms.Queue)     Output:     So this success, suggests that +remoteness+ has nothing to do with the failure of the ConnectionFactory lookup.   I am contacting the author of IBM's WSMQ JCA resource apapter for comment and confirmation re: IBM MQ ConnectionFactoryImpl   Thank you very much, Jaikiran! -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/525194#525194
