The provided jndi.properties file is: java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099 | java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory | java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming.client | j2ee.clientName=jbpmbpel-client I see possibly relevant discrepancies in java.naming.factory.url.pkgs and j2ee.clientName. The absence of j2ee.clientName is almost certainly the cause of the NameNotBoundException. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4200974#...
