Browsing jndi tree from Netbeans

[aaime]

I would like to know if there's a way
to browse the jndi tree (showing both keys
and values) from the jndi tool included in
netbeans. The tools requires the followin
parameters (dont' know if they're all necessary):
a JNDI context factory, initial context, context root, authentication, principal, credintials, other needed
properties (may set key/value pairs)

check jndi.properties for the property values, and you will also need jnp-client.jar in your netbeans classpath (contains the org.jboss.naming.* classes referenced in the package properties)

What version of Netbeans did you use?

I am having trouble (or rather, lack of knowledge) with connecting NetBeans 3.4 to jBoss 3.0.3.

I have jnp-client.jar in the NetBeans classpath, and NetBeans picks up the provider (org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory) just fine.

What do I use for an InitialContextFactory, and what are the default authentication details for jBoss (as I haven't changed any of the auth details in my installation)?

Finally, what would I use as a context root (java:/ ?) and a context label?

I have tried various entries for these fields, but I get an error stating: "Timeout value is too short to connect to service". Which I feel is irrelevant to whatever I typed in to the fields above. I have my JNDI timeout set to 10000 in the Netbeans options dialog.

Sorry for the long and somewhat spidery posting - I know I should have broken this up into several postings.

Help much appreciated...

By default all access to JBoss naming service is allowed, as far as I can remember, so authentication is most likely ignored even if you set it (unless you have secured the naming service yourself).

The root context is most likely "/" or just an empty string, "java:" will not be accessible from another JVM.

No clue what the context label thing is.

Works for me with Netbeans 3.4. These are my settings.

Make sure that the following client jars are in classpath(in my case, I mounted archives in filesystems explorer):
jnp-client.jar
jboss-common-client.jar
log4j.jar
jnet.jar

Provider "NamingContextFactory" properties are:
JNDI Context Factory: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory

JNDI Initial Context:
localhost:21099 (In my case since I run multiple instances of JBoss, if you did not change 1099)

Then I "connect using..."
And give my context a label which is used to show up in the explorer as a node.
