Embeddable ALPHA 9 Unable to lookup TransactionManager

[muyen]

I'm trying out the the embedded-war tutorial with Embeddable ALPHA 9. I would get the following exception when starting up the tomcat 5.5.20.

Can someone please help me out?

Take a look at the conf directory of alpha9. In it you will find a (newly added) jndi.properties file. It is likely that is all you need to add to make this error go away.

i'm having the same issue...the UserTransaction bean initialzation tries to find TransactionManager in a new InitialContext(). it doesnt supply its own properties to the InitialContext(), so the default ones (in my case, the apache tomcat ones) are being picked up.

how do i tell tomcat to launch w/ the jboss jndi properties are the default?
i tried putting the jndi.properties in my webapp's WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes, and in tomcat's server\classes dir, to no avail. where does it go?

[kc_schaefer]

I am getting the same error as the original post. I do not understand Kurt's reply. I do have a jndi.properties file in my conf directory. What do I need to add to it to fix this issue?

[coral]

oooh. I also got same problem. I try the old version of Embeddable such as ALPHA 8, it can work very well. I think it's a bug of ALPHA 9. Hope the reply from JBOSS engineers.

Problem has been noted in the following JIRA issue:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-771

[hennejg]

Just add

System.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.LocalOnlyContextFactory");
System.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

before the embedded container startup, and you're ready to go. Alternatively, you can throw a jndi.properties with those properties onto the class path or use -D options.
