jboss-as-7.0.1.Final - Not able to get context.

[aslamcl]

Hi,

I am not able to initialize context in AS7. Please help. Following is the piece of code am trying.

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.naming.Context;

import javax.naming.InitialContext;

import javax.naming.NamingException;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws NamingException {

        System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>");

        // org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory - jboss 5

        // org.jboss.as.naming.InitialContextFactory - jboss 7

        Properties props = new Properties();

        props.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,    "org.jboss.as.naming.InitialContextFactory");

        props.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");

        InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);

    }

}

I get following exception.

Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: org.jboss.as.naming.InitialContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.as.naming.InitialContextFactory]

1. This is only supported in 7.1x
2. You need to read EJB invocations from a remote client using JNDI

I downloaded the nightly build a day back,, I could see the subject jar in $JBOSS_HOME/bin/client directory, My question  is, how do we add dependency to this module in our application? For time being, I bundled the jar in my ear, which I know is a wrong approach, what is the proper approach?

That's not a "module". That's just a plain jar file (like the jbossall-client.jar of earlier releases) meant to be used in (non application server) client classpath.

Infact there's even a README.txt in that JBOSS_HOME/bin/client folder. Please read that and that should answer your question.

Jai , I am sorry, I am not able to find any README.txt file inside jboss-as-7.0.1.Final\bin.

I believe it would be there only in AS 7.1 Final.

The path is $JBOSS_HOME/bin/client
