InitialContext doesn't use environment settings

[iapazmino]

Hello,

I'm trying to lookup a component deployed into a jboss as4.2.3. In order to do so I construct the context passing into the environment settings the provider's url. Since this server is running in my desktop at first I tough I was getting hold of the server but when printin the available bindings I saw only the local ones. Local y refer to the jboss as7 from where I want to get the ejb reference. So, I shut-down the as4.2 and nothing happened.

Following my configuration

jndi/ejb2-app.properies

java.naming.provider.url=jnp\://localhost\:1199

getting the context

private Context getContext(Hashtable<?, ?> environment) {
    try {
        return new InitialContext(environment);
    } catch (NamingException e) {
        final String host = (String) environment.get(Context.PROVIDER_URL);
        throw new RuntimeException("Server not found " + host, e);
    }
}

getting the ejb2 reference

private Ejb2Interface getEjb2Interface() {
    final String jndi = Ejb2HomeInterface.JNDI_NAME;// jndi = ejb/module/EJB2Class
    try {
        Context context = getContext(ejb2AppProperties);
        ejb2Home = (Ejb2HomeInterface) context.lookup(jndi);
        return ejb2Home.create();
    } catch (NamingException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("EJB2 not found " + jndi, e);
    } catch (RemoteException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    } catch (CreateException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

and the exception trace is

Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name 'ejb' not found in context ''
    at org.jboss.as.naming.util.NamingUtils.nameNotFoundException(NamingUtils.java:109)

What's the settings I'm missplacing/missing?
