Why Can't my Java Client Get Wildfly 8's Initial Context?

[gberish]

I can find several prior requests for help with how a Java Program (outside of Wildfly 8’s container) can secure an InitialContext from Wildfly 9 running on the same computer.

But for reasons I don’t understand I can’t find an answer that makes the following test code work.

So I hope someone is willing to tell what I'm doing wrong.

The goal is a Class that enables JMS messaging. But for now I've cut out everything except getting an InitialContext.

I run it on Eclipse so aside from the Build Path, it should be a cut, paste and run, example. I’m attaching all the jars in its build path (every jar every thread suggested). And I’ve pasted the relevant console error info at the end.

I’d like to leave this code behind for those who start learning JBoss to just cut and paste as a start.

Any Help?

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.naming.Context;

import javax.naming.InitialContext;

public class GetJNDIContext {

  //members

  static Properties ENV = new Properties() {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    {

      put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory"); 

      put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http-remoting://localhost:9990");

      put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "guest"); 

      put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "guest");

    }

  };

  static public void main (String[] args) {

    try {

      Context ctx = new InitialContext(GetJNDIContext.ENV);

    } catch (Exception e) {

      System.out.println(e.getClass().getName());

      System.out.println(e.getMessage());

      e.printStackTrace();

    }

  }

}

In cases it helps I get the same failure when I used the PW and ID of a user I created with

As of 6/27/17

About to add user 'jmsUser' for realm 'ManagementRealm'

Is this correct yes/no? yes

Added user 'jmsUser' to file 'C:\ProgramFilesGeo\Wildfly\wildfly-10.1.0.Final\standalone\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'

Added user 'jmsUser' to file 'C:\ProgramFilesGeo\Wildfly\wildfly-10.1.0.Final\domain\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'

Is this new user going to be used for one AS process to connect to another AS process?

1. e.g. for a slave host controller connecting to the master or for a Remoting connection for server to server EJB calls.
