InitialContext.lookup returns null

[mashiur_valo]

My jboss is in linux machine and my client application is running in a windows machine. The problem is from my java client application initialContext.lookup method returns null

What are you looking up?

Also, do you have a firewall on the Linux machine? If so make sure you open the ports 1098, 1099, 4443 and 4444 (or their equivalents if you changed the port settings). The last two you might not need unless you are accessing mbeans.

In my jndi.properties file I have written as follows

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://192.168.1.104:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

My client program is as follows

1. Properties prop=new Properties(new FileInputStream("jndi.properties"));
2. InitialContext context=new InitialContext(prop);
3. Object obj=context.lookup("MyEjb");


Line 1 and 2 has no problem, but in line 3 when I look up my ejb in server it returns null. I am not using any firewall and my necessary ports are open.

When I run my java client program in linux machine where my JBoss server is located then no problem occurs.

Try this. Enter the following at a command prompt on Windows:

telnet 192.168.1.104 1099

The last line of the response shpould have an IP address in it. On my PC it looks like:

UnicastRef2192.59.193.104?Jsëk½?ñ#·gÇx

If the IP address does not match that of your Linux box, add the following line to your /etc/hosts file:

192.168.1.104 <simple-pc-name> <pc-name-with-full-domain>

Example:

192.168.1.104 linuxbox1 linuxbox1.cox.net
