How can I use the jndi.properties file from a JAR file clien

[tsetsong]

Hi,

I have compiled a client application into a *.class file that runs fine. However, it produced the following error when I tried to run it as a *.jar file :

[java] NamingException : Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet para
meter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial

I understand that the jndi.properties file has something to do with this. I have included the path to the jndi.properties file in my classpath when I do the run. Is there something else that I missed out ? Does the manifest file need to be modified ?

thanks for your help.

I had the same problem.
This worked for me:=

System.setProperty ("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");

System.setProperty ("java.naming.provider.url", "localhost:1099");

System.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming");

jndiContext = new InitialContext(System.getProperties());

p.s. Mine only works if I'm connected to the Internet.
Good luck,
