javax.naming.NoInitialContextException in WebApp

[mackerman]

Hi, I have a webapp, running in JBoss AS7.1.1.Final.  In it, I am attempting to send an email, but am getting javax.naming.NoInitialContextException when trying to lookup SMTP:

			InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
			Session mailSession = (Session)ic.lookup("java:/Mail");

my standalone.xml contains:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:naming:1.1"/>

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:mail:1.0">

                                        <mail-session debug="true" jndi-name="java:/Mail" from="[e-mail]" >

                                                       <smtp-server outbound-socket-binding-ref="mail-smtp"/>

                                        </mail-session>

                         </subsystem>

the complete error is:

javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file:  java.naming.factory.initial

Anyone have any idea what is going on here?

thanks, Mitchell

My bad, was running the app not in JBoss, which I often do to test things.  Don't get this error running in JBoss.
