Missing URL Protocol Handler (JNDI) / jboss-3.0.0RC1_tomcat-

[pneumcke]

After switching from jboss-3.0.0beta to jboss-3.0.0RC1_tomcat-4.0.3 the servlet that I try to deploy in JBoss throws an exception:
MalformedURLException: missing protocol handler: jndi
This occurs in the init() method of the servlet.

The exact message is:

[exec] javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to determine servlet context URL.

The source code looks like this (CocoonServlet.java):

try {
if (path.indexOf(':') > 1) {
this.servletContextURL = new URL(path);
} else {
this.servletContextURL = (new File(path)).toURL();
}
} catch (java.net.MalformedURLException me) {
throw new ServletException("Unable to determine servlet context URL.", me);
}

Hi,

Did you get an answer for this problem? (I get the same thing...)

Thanks

Have you checked your jndi.properties?

Nothing if local
http://server:1099 if remote

ah, yes, I was looking at the server jndi.properties and should have been looking at admin/client/jndi.properties

Thanks for the pointer (of course it works now...)
