access Queue with JNDI from outside the app server

[bperry]

Hello,

I am accessing a JMS Queue that is bound to the Global JNDI namespace under "jms/epdqueue." I don't have a problem getting the Queue object from components running within JBoss. My code has to be able to access the queue from outside the JVM/app server. I get the InitialContext okay but the lookup returns a javax.naming.Reference object instead of the Queue.What are the steps to get the actual Queue object from the Reference? Here's how the test code sets everything up:

Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("java.naming.factory.initial",
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");

props.put("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://localhost:1099");

props.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

System.setProperties(props);

try {

namingCtx = new InitialContext();

Object tmp = namingCtx.lookup("jms/epdqueue");

if (tmp instanceof javax.naming.Reference) {
Reference ref = (Reference) tmp;
System.out.println(ref.getClassName());
System.out.println(ref.getFactoryClassName());
}
//etc...

How can I return the javax.jms.Queue from the lookup instead?

Thanks,

Bruce

java.util.Hashtable env = new java.util.Hashtable();
 env.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 env.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL,"jnp://localhost:1099");
 env.put(javax.naming.Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jnp.interfaces");
 Context context = new InitialContext(env);

javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory ref = (javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory) context.lookup("ConnectionFactory");

javax.jms.QueueConnection conn = ref.createQueueConnection();
 javax.jms.Queue que = (javax.jms.Queue) context.lookup("queue/A");

Okay, so the problem was the absence of the jbossall-client.jar during compilation. I included that in the project and now can a Queue object. Thanks for you help.
