jndi.properties for jsp/servlets

[mtags]

Where do I put my jndi.properties file when I am trying to reach an entity bean from my jsp page?

Do I even need a jndi.properties file?

ROOT PROBLEM:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: contact not bound

I am getting this error when I try to access my jsp page. I am assuming that it is a jndi problem and it is looking for my jndi.properties file.

My jsp code

<%@ page import="csm.test.contact.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.naming.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.rmi.*" %>

<%

InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Object homeObject = ic.lookup("contact/Contact");

ContactLocalHome home = (ContactLocalHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(homeObject, ContactLocalHome.class);

%>

Thanks

Are you accessing a remote ejb from your jsp?
You don't need to have a jndi.properties when they are in a same JVM.

yeah, this is more likely a config error where your ejb is not getting bound to the address you want to look up
