I am trying to evaluate using HA-JNDI for an application that currently uses Java IDL's transient naming service with RMI-IIOP stubs. (This is potentially a first step towards migrating the app to EJBs, for now we would only take advantage of the clustered naming service.)
I am trying to bind the stubs by calling :
initialContext.rebind("aName", PortableRemoteObject.toStub(aRemoteObject))
- and get error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

I can bind other Serializable objects or References to the naming context with same jndi properties.
Is it technically possible to use the HA-JNDI to store my RMI-IIOP stubs this way and achieve fail-safe Naming service? If not, could I use the iiop-service in this manner (only as an ORB, without moving my code to EJBs) and would the iiop-service be clustered? Or, is there any other way I could achieve the goal of migrating from using the Java IDL tnameserv to a clustered naming service provided by Jboss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
