can't find SerialContextProvider

[ionel]

Hi,

When I launch a client to connect to a tiny CMP2.0 EJB, the client returns the following error :


javax.naming.CommunicationException: Can't find SerialContextProvider
at com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialContext.getProvider(SerialContext.java:63)
at com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialContext.lookup(SerialContext.java:120)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:350)
at clients.personneClient.main(personneClient.java:21)


the client code is :

package clients;

import personne.*;

import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import java.rmi.*;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
import java.util.*;

public class personneClient
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
personneHome home=null;

try
{
InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();

Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("ejbcal/Personne");

home = (personneHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow (ref, personneHome.class);

Iterator i=home.findByName("gardais").iterator();
System.out.println("personne ayant le nom gardais :");
while (i.hasNext())
{
personne pers = (personne) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(i.next(), personne.class);
System.out.println(pers.getNom());
System.out.println(pers.getPrenom());
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
System.out.println("Done.");
}
}
}


I'm currently working with Jboss3.0 binary downloaded and a mySQL database, J2SDKEE 1.3.1.
The ejbcal/Personne JNDI socket is created in the jboss.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>personneBean</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>ejbcal/Personne</jndi-name>

</enterprise-beans>



thanks for your help,

Remove j2sdkee.

from the classpath or from the computer ?

[adrian.brock]

From the classpath.
Otherwise you will use its naming instead
of jboss's
Jboss's is in client/jnp-client.jar along with the
other client jars you will need.

i now get a "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"

i have a jndi.properties file in my build directory (root of all my client classes)

my client classpath needs to have :
- ejb.jar
- jaas.jar
- jbosssx-client.jar
- jboss-client.jar
- jnp-client.jar
- jndi.jar

is that all ?

[adrian.brock]

You need a jndi.properties in the classpath
or set the properties in your code.

e.g. for jndi.properties
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=localhost

for info (and futur readers who may have the same problem), i'm using javax.naming.* because it fails otherwise.

[ionel]
