NoInitialContextException: New user trying samples

Got context
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

i think you need to make sure that jndi.properties is available on the classpath AND that it is configured correctly for your server. Usually localhost is find during development.

Hello there,
I also new to jboss, and am having the same problem.
The jndi.properties file is on the classpath but no luck.
What else should I check?
Thank you

my jndi.properties file contains the following:
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

you could also see if a firewall? is stopping the data.
check no other apps are using port 1099.

Hi I am also new user trying examples.

I am also getting the same error for JNDI lookup.
1) I have included jndi.properties in the classpath
2) I have started and created queue from jmx-console.

I appreciate any input on my probelm.
Thanks

-------------------------------------------
my jndi.properties look like this

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider=localhost:1099
------------

This is part of my program using JNDI lookup

try {
jndiContext = new InitialContext();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Couldnot create JNDI API Context:" +
e.toString());
System.exit(1);
}

try {
queueConnectionFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory)
jndiContext.lookup("ConnectionFactory");
queue = (Queue) jndiContext.lookup("queue/testQueue");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("JNDI lookup failed" + e.toString());
System.exit(1);
}
------------

This is the command I am using

java -cp /opt/hpws/jboss/server/default/lib/jboss-j2ee.jar:. -Djms.properties=/opt/hpws/jboss/server/default/conf/jndi.properties SimpleQueueSender testQueue 3
