NoInitialContextException during Remote EJB invocations via JNDI - EJB client API

[valsaraj007]

I got following error when tried EJB client API approach:

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

        at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:662)

        at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:307)

        at javax.naming.InitialContext.getEnvironment(InitialContext.java:544)

Here is the code that thrown exception:

try {

            final Hashtable<String, String> jndiProperties = new Hashtable();

            jndiProperties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");

                ctx = new InitialContext(jndiProperties);

            } catch (NamingException ex) {

                throw new RuntimeException("Could not create initial context using supplied context properties", ex);

            }

        }

try {

      logger.info("@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ CTX: " + ctx.getEnvironment().toString());  // It is thown at this line

  } catch (NamingException e) {

  // TODO Auto-generated catch block

  e.printStackTrace();

  }

return ctx;

jboss-ejb-client.properties:

endpoint.name=client-endpoint

remote.connectionprovider.create.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false

remote.connections=default

remote.connection.default.host=localhost

remote.connection.default.port = 8080

remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false

remote.connection.default.username=admin

remote.connection.default.password=admin

What's wrong here?

Fixed above error by adding jboss-ejb-client.properties to the class path. Then got "Invalid User error" because I am using custom security domain for EJB and there the password is shown as org.jboss.as.security.remoting.RemotingConnectionCredential@35ddbd0f and fails!
