Struts Actions and java: namespace

[sdrw98]

Hi All,

I'm trying to access a datasource from one of my Struts Action subclasses. However, when I create an InitialContext, it is missing the java: namespace. I understand from reading the forum and docs that the java: namespace is only available from within the JBoss JVM, but I think that the default configuration for jboss-3.0.6_tomcat-4.1.18 is that tomcat and JBoss run in the same JVM.

I am using a jndi.properties, and lookups to EJBs work fine - it's just the java: namespace that is eluding me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Scott

try removing the jndi.properties. It's probably making your lookups go through tcp/ip outside the jboss vm.

That may be so, but when I don't have the jndi.properties, the lookup throws a communication exception and doesn't even manage to connect to JBoss' JNDI.

Is there something I can put in jndi.properties or in the InitialContext's hash map parameter that would allow me to specify in-JVM lookups?

Maybe it's the servlet 2.3 classloading model. Does your jndi.properties look like this?

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
# Do NOT uncomment this line as it causes in VM calls to go over

#java.naming.provider.url=localhost
