Can someone what I'm doing wrong with JNP/JNDI

[gressil]

Hi all,

I've managed to get the Fibo application installed and running and all is fine with that, but now I want to try and access the Fibo EJB from a client and I am having a problem referencing it, the jmx-console output looks like this:

Global JNDI Namespace

 +- XAConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyXAConnectionFactory)
 +- UIL2ConnectionFactory[link -> ConnectionFactory] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
 +- UserTransactionSessionFactory (proxy: $Proxy11 implements interface org.jboss.tm.usertx.interfaces.UserTransactionSessionFactory,interface org.jboss.proxy.IClientContainer)
 +- HTTPConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyConnectionFactory)
 +- console (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
 | +- PluginManager (proxy: $Proxy36 implements interface org.jboss.console.manager.PluginManagerMBean)
 +- UIL2XAConnectionFactory[link -> XAConnectionFactory] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
 +- UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory (class: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.keygenerator.uuid.UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory)
 +- HTTPXAConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyXAConnectionFactory)
 +- topic (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)

 | +- testQueue (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)
 | +- ex (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)
 | +- DLQ (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)
 | +- D (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)

 | +- B (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)
 +- ConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyConnectionFactory)
 +- UserTransaction (class: org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ClientUserTransaction)
 +- ejb (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
 | +- Fido (proxy: $Proxy51 implements interface org.jboss.proxy.IClientContainer,interface tutorial.interfaces.FidoHome,interface javax.ejb.Handle)

(I know it says Fido, I misread the tutorial but it does work)

and now I have a client looking like this:

public class TestClient
{

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
 {
 Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
 props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
 props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");
 Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
 System.out.println("Here");
 ctx.lookup("ejb/Fido");
 System.out.println("Here");
 }

}

But this just hangs, I get one 'Here' output on stdout and the nothing else.

Am I right in thinking that I should be able to access this EJB? It is in the global namespace - what am I doing wrong?

I have also tried every combination I can think of in the ctx.lookup() to no avail, I'd have thought I should have got a not bound error if I tried to look up something non-existent - I don't think lookup should hang.

I'm running JBoss 4.0.1 (which is completely unaltered from the initial unpacking) with Sun's jdk1.5.0 on Gentoo (2.6.8-r3)

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks
Chris.
