Cannot set up Context in jndi.properties

[tsmets]

I dunno why but if I insert in my jndi.properties


java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

Actually it's all there is in the file :-)
I got the following Exception :

[java] Main...
[java] got the context...
[java] Exception is : javax.naming.NoInitialContextException
[java] Exception message is : 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


While if I set up the Context in the app, like in :

System.setProperty( "java.naming.factory.initial",
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
System.setProperty( "java.naming.provider.url",
"localhost:1099");


Everything works fine ....
Could somebody tell me what I could do wrong ?

You have to put jndi.properties in your classpath.

This message is a bit cryptic :-)
"or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial"

Hi Adrian,

I had the same problem, actually with 2.4.3 it worked fine , in 2.4.4 suddendly I got this error.

But even when I now include the jndi.properties in the classpath (I have a standalone test client, running via JUnit) it doesn't work. I still get that exception.

Any suggestions why the jndi.properties is not read? When using the client via a servlet running with Tomcat 3.2.3 then everything works. Just problems with the standalone client for testing.

Regards,
Thomas
