Lookup of jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor fails in 3.2.3

[gwwallace]

In the startService method of my MBean I do

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
RMIAdaptor adaptor = (RMIAdaptor) ctx.lookup("jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor");

It works in 3.2.2 but fails with a NameException (jmx not found) in 3.2.3

It does show up ok on my JNDIView:

Global JNDI Namespace

+- jmx (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- invoker (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- RMIAdaptor (proxy: $Proxy22 implements interface org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.rmi.RMIAdaptor)
| +- rmi (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- RMIAdaptor[link -> jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)

Does it show up on yours?

[gwwallace]

Yes i can see it in JNDIView, just cant access it from code.

Do you still have this problem?

I think you are missing the step to narrowing the context to the right object. Usually in naming service, you obtain a root context object like this:

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(env);
Object ref = ctx.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor");

And then you need to narrow it to the right object like this:

RMIAdaptor rmiAdapter =(RMIAdaptor)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, RMIAdaptor.class);
