New JBoss User, Need some Help!!!

[pkondaka]

Hey Guys

I am pretty new to JBoss group/User.

I am in the process of using Jboss preconfigured with Tomcat. Document says it is preconfigured, i have few questions.

1. where do i need to put my WAR file so that tomcat extracts. I believe it is under ./catalina/webapps/.
when i did and access using http://localhost:8080
it is not working

2. What URL provider i can use to get the EJB reference

I will appreceiate if some body can help me configuring the app server

Thanks
KPK

Have you looked at the quickstart guide?
available here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866

catalina/webapps is not used with embedded Tomcat,
the wars go into jboss's deploy directory.

Regards,
Adrian

Put it in <jboss_dir>/server/default/deploy

For JNDI lookup you mean?
Just create an InitialContext without parameters and lookup in there.

myCtx = new InitialContext();
myHome = (MyHome)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(myCtx.lookup("my/jndi/name"), MyHome.class));

(Syntax above might be slightly wrong...)

Thanks for your reply

As first step, i did following things

I created my own directory under /server/mydir/conf
/server/mydir/deploy.
I copied jboss-service.xml into /server/mydir/conf.

now how can i say run.bat to refer /server/mydir/conf/jboss-service.xml

The reason i did above things because, i don't want to touch base installation.

i will apprecieate if you can help me in this.

Thanks

1. I copied webtest.ear file under /server/mydir/deploy/
2. my deployment sttributes in jboss-service.xml is

./deploy


when i did this i am getting following error.

Error:

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

can you tell me what extra do i need to do ?

Thanks

You'll need the other files from
server/default/conf

in this case, you jndi.properties
