Everything's changed...

Hi,

The last time I used JBoss App Server was in the 3.0.0 Beta release. At this point things have changed quite a bit. In particular, there used to be a jndi.jar file in the beta release that one of my applications depends on. Now that library is not available (or I can't find it). Could someone please give me a tip on where it is, or what to use as a substitute?

Thanks,

Mac

Let's refine the problem. The issue is that I'm having difficulty looking up the mail service with JNDI from a client application. I'm running Jboss-3.0.0 in the default mode.

I've followed the directions providing in the Quick Start guide at sourceforge for setting up the jndi.properties file. I've also confirmed that the mail-service.xml file is loading on startup, and that the mail service is registered under the JNDI name of "java:/Mail". The source code snippet for locating the Mail properties is below:

...
System.out.println( "Getting initial context." );
ctx = new InitialContext();
System.out.println("Loading mail properties");
Session mailSession = (Session)PortableRemoteObject.narrow
(ctx.lookup("java:/Mail"), Session.class);

Properties props = mailSession.getProperties();
String emailAddr = props.getProperty("mail.from");
...

However, when trying to lookup the mail.from property, I get the following stack trace listed below.

Getting initial context.
Loading mail properties

My question is, why is the Mail name not registered, even when it's registered? I must be doing something wrong but I'm not sure what. I have files to attach (the jndi.properties file and server.log) but the "Attach and Post" button doesn't appear to be working on the attach files page.
