JBoss and app. client - name not bound error

[vman]

Hi everyone,

I have searched and read through everything in the forums regarding: application clients, jndi lookups, etc. and I'm very confused at this point.
I have written a J2EE application which runs fine on SUNs reference implementation, and deploys ok on JBoss 3.0.
The application is non-web based; it uses application clients to connect to it.
I have fought this thing to the point where at least I can successfully (i.e. with no errors shown by JBoss...) deploy the .ear file.
I have manually edited the XML files, with various combinations of JNDI names, no JNDI names given, etc. and at this point I think I'm just not seeing the forest for the trees. The problem is that when I try to start the client from the commandline , it bombs out with

~/jbossdeploy/STS/code> java -jar AppClient.jar
Client Started

Caught an exception @ MainClient

I know that the problem (probably) has to do with some JNDI naming error, but I have no clue how to go about fixing it.
I'm looking things up with:
Context initial = new InitialContext();
Object objref = initial.lookup(JNDINames.CONTROLLERSESSIONBEAN);

and CONTROLLERSESSIONBEAN is

public static final String CONTROLLERSESSIONBEAN = "java:comp/env/ejb/ControllerSessionBeanCode";

Here are my XML files (excuse the lengthy post...
:(

What am I doing wrong here ?
Please help...

Hi,
Try this way

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");
Context ocontext=new InitialContext(p);

Since you are using the Differnet JVM you require to tell the application where is the JNDI located so you have to set these properties.
I would advice you to look the Workbook provided by orilley where they are using ant tool.

Vicky

Thanks Vicky,

I will try this now.
By the way, will ant put in code such as the above bit you posted ? In other words, is Ant intelligent enough to figure these things out ?!? That would very much surprise me, but you never know...

Thanks for your help

Volkmar
