Error javax.naming.NoInitialContextException

[praveen_imt]

Hi All,

I am new to EJB and JBoss. I have created stateless Session EJB's (using Jdevloper) and the JBoss has deployed them successfully...but when i run my application from JBoss....I receive the following error...

javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial

javax.naming.Context javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(java.util.Hashtable)

NamingManager.java:643

javax.naming.Context javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx()

InitialContext.java:246

javax.naming.Context javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(java.lang.String)

InitialContext.java:283

java.lang.Object javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(java.lang.String)

InitialContext.java:350

void mypackage1.WelcomeScreen1_applet.main(java.lang.String[])

WelcomeScreen1_applet.java:248

The Java File where it shows the error contains these lines....
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
ErpFacadeHome = (erpFacadeHome)ctx.lookup("erpFacade");


Can any one please help me to solve this problem..

Thanks to all.

You should have a jndi.properties file in your classpath. A typical jndi.properties file will look like:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099

You can find one such file, in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/conf directory.
