JMX bean creating InitialContext: Works from JMX console.

[dasmith836]

Gurus,
here is my situation:

I have a JMX bean deployed via Spring's MBeanExporter. Several of the methods new up an InitialContext() for various operations.

This works just fine when I invoke the methods via the JBoss JMX console. But if I try to invoke them through JConsole or programmatically through RMI, I get a ClassNotFound exception:

javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory]

I've googled high and low to find a solution, but none has presented itself. Any ideas?

Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory]

You need the jbossall-client .jar in the client classpath. You can find that jar in %JBOSS_HOME%/client folder. Which version of JBoss are you using? For JBoss-5, you will also have to add additional jar files which are listed in the MANIFEST.MF file of jbossall-client.jar

Jboss 4.2.2

On the client? This exception is happening on the server, NOT on the client.

TO CLARIFY:

the exception


javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory]

is occurring on the server, not on the client. I can watch it happen using IDEA remote debugging on the JBoss instance. I'm wondering if there is a class loader issue, since the RMI access takes a much different code path than the JMX console does.

Still haven't found a solution to this - any love here?
