3.0.3 InitialContext not using jndi.properties

[sleeperab]

hi,

i'm running into a problem in looking up InitialContext. i'm using jboss-3.0.3_tomcat-4.1.12 on winnt.

thanks in advance for your help.

here is the code snippet
======================================================
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Map m = ctx.getEnvironment();
for (Iterator i=m.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
Object key = i.next();
Object val = m.get(key);
System.out.println(key + ":\t" + val);
}

Object ref = ctx.lookup(GroupMgr.LOOKUP_NAME);
======================================================

here is my jndi.properties
======================================================
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://172.16.3.147
======================================================

and here is the error, note that the inititial ctx did pick up the property values
======================================================
java.naming.factory.initial: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url: 172.16.3.147
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs: org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

ooops... forgot to point out that although the context picked up the url 172.16.3.147, but it's still trying to connect to the localhost 127.0.0.1.
