Initial Context factory setting for JNDI when running JTA *l

[breako]

Hi,
This came up in another thread.
I am trying to run JTA *local* transactions. I have to register the Datasource with the JNDI context. To instantiate an InitialContext I need to set a InitialContextFactory.
I do not know what to set this to.
I search these forums and two values are usually used for this:
1. org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
2. org.jboss.naming.NamingContextFactory

I put all the jars with the JTA dist on my classpath but in both cases, I get Class not found exceptions.

Any ideas what this should be set to?

huh? If you are running inside the JBoss app server, it handles the JNDI for you. If you are running outside the app server you don't have any JNDI provider unless you pick one yourself. Why do you have to register the datasource at all, just instantiate it direct in your code.

Plus, if you're running outside of the application server then consider using the transactional JDBC driver that ships with JBossTS. Once again: it's all in the documentation.
