Problems with the JNDI-Lookup to the JavaMail service...

[the_gambler]

Hi Guys,


might be that a thousand people already have asked but I could not find satisfying help by now so I'm posting my question here, too:

I am trying to code me a Notifier in one of my java projects and up to now it worked pretty fine. But now that I've begun with the JavaMail stuff it's getting worse...
My code is (snippet):

Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, blablabla);
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, blablabla);
props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, blablabla);
InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(props);
Session mailSession = (Session) ictx.lookup("java:/Mail");

And when my JBoss4.0.2 boots up, it reports that

[MailService] Mail Service bound to java:/Mail

But when I run my code it says

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Mail not bound

Anybody got an idea at hand? It starts making me frustrated since I'm trying to fix this for a good two days now...


Thanks in advance,
Markus

You are trying to connect to the java: namespace from a remote client, the java: namespace can not be accessed remotely.

Or, you are in the same server and the "blablabla" matters. When in the jboss server, you should generally not use anything other then the no argument version of the InitialContext ctor. If you are using the InitialContext(Hashtable) form, you need to understand the effect of the "blablabla".
