Hi,
I have a standard java project which has Junit Test case in it. The Junit test case is setting up the JNDI environment, and then I do a lookup on my object. I have found that by including the jnp-client.jar and the jboss-common-client.jar I have eliminated a series of exceptions. I have looked at my my JNDI tree and have seen the object that I am looking up; so I don't get the NameNotFoundException, I'm passed that.
What I get is this, this is my stack trace....

Here is my code .....

import gov.qiris.service.HelloWorld;

import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Properties;

import javax.naming.InitialContext;

import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class RegisterTest extends TestCase {

protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
}

public static Hashtable getDefaultJNDI() {
Properties p = new Properties();

p.setProperty(InitialContext.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");
p.setProperty(InitialContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
p.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

return p;
}

// test register functionality.
public void testRegister() {

try {
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext(getDefaultJNDI());

String s = HelloWorld.class.getName();
Object obj = initialContext.lookup(s);
System.out.println("success");
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

}

protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
super.tearDown();
}

}

HelloWorld is a Session Bean interface and lives in a middle tier project. It is an interface to my remote Session Bean instance.

Any ideas anyone ?
thanks Geoff
