    InitialContext in JBoss 3.0b Catalina4.0.2 / missing web.xml

    jamal

      Hello,

      after the start of JBoss i get this error:

      ---error begin------
      ERROR [EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] Failed to setup web application ENC
      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
      at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:640)
      at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:243)
      at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:280)
      ...

      ----error end----

      I tried specify the initial context for my web application, but had no success. I copied a jndi.properties to WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib in my WAR and also copied to %JBOSS_HOME%/conf/default and %JBOSS_HOME%/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2/conf. No effects.

      I tried in my servlet init to set the context with this:

      public static Context getInitialContext() throws Exception
      {
      Properties p = new Properties();
      p.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");
      p.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
      p.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jnp.interfaces");
      return new InitialContext(p);
      }

      The result is that I get a "Recieve timeout" if I make a lookup for a JNDI.

      So what's here worng?

      I'm using JBoss 3.0beta with Catalina 4.0.2 on a Win 2k PC.

      Another thing is that catalina doesn't find any web.xml files in the WAR's. Not in my WAR and not even example.war nor ROOT.war. (with JBoss alpha my web.xml was found)
