client fails to run on template project

[davidfreer]

Hi Jboss Developers,

I have built and installed the JBOSS 3.0 template project and started JBOSS. However the client fails to run.

I issue the run-cient.sh command and get the following
exception:

javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specifiy
class name in environment or system property, or as an
applet parameter, or in an application resource file:
java.naming.factory.initial

at javax.naming.spi.NamingManger.getInitialContext(NamingM638)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(initialConte
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLorDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java.278)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java.345)
at test.client.TestClient.main(TestClient.java:21)

I am using suse linux version 7.0

When I use the jsp page:
http://localhost:8080/web-client
it works fine.

Any help much appreciated.

David Freer.

Do you have an file named "jndi.properties" in the directory from which you start the client which contains these lines:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=localhost
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

If not, make one.

Or something like:

java.util.Hashtable props = new java.util.Hashtable();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, localhost);
props.put("java.naming.rmi.security.manager", "yes");
props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
");

Then,
Context context = new InitialContext(props);

If you don't want to/can't use a props file

Hi,

What if it still fails with same error even though the file exists and have
precisely the contents in your post?

Hoi,

I think that there are some pieces missing, this worked for me.

props.put(InitialContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(InitialContext.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost");
props.put("java.naming.rmi.security.manager", "yes");
props.put(InitialContext.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

Hi,

I have the exact same problem...My template's JSP is under the webapp/test/jsp/index.jsp. And under webapp/test/WEB_INF/lib, my *.jar and &.war files are there. Under webapp/WEB_INF, i have the web.xml et jboss-web.xml. I've mounted those directories. But still, when acessing the index.jsp, i have this message :

javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance

What could I possibly forgot to set up?

oh, btw, where should i copy the jndi.properties file?

Thx,
Meg
