How to make server's JNDI 1099 connection?

[mcjava1967]

Hi folks. When my new JBoss 4.2 Eclipse plugin starts, I'm getting this in the event log:

JMXException: Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: localhost:1099 and discovery failed with error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out]

I've tried switching the port to something like 1234, to be sure it wasn't in use, but I get the same error. The server itself does come up, but it seems I can't use JNDI for this reason.

I'm a newbie at JBoss, so there's a good chance I missed something obvious. If anyone could point me in the right direction on this, I'd really appreciate it. I've been trying to get started here for a couple weeks!


Thanks!

change your jndi.prpperties to

### JBossNS properties
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interface

Well, thanks very much for the suggestion, but I'm afraid I still get the same error. I overwrote the jndi.properties files in ...default\conf and ...all\conf, but no luck. (That is what you meant, right?)

I'll repost in newbies and JNDI forums...

Thanks!

If you use Eclipse to create EJB app. Inside your EJB project has jndi.properties. Go to and edit it:
change your jndi.prpperties to

...
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099

You also use InitialContext to edit connection to any urls.
