      Hi All,

      I have created a EJB proect as follows:

      (1) Stateless EJB class
      (2) Home Interface
      (3) Remote Interface

      (4) ejb-jar.xml as below:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <ejb-jar id="ejb-jar_ID" version="2.1" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd">
      <display-name>MyEJB</display-name>
      <!-- <ejb-client-jar>EJBProjectClient.jar</ejb-client-jar> -->
      <enterprise-beans>

      <ejb-name>MyBean</ejb-name>
      src.MyBeanHome
      src.MyRemoteBean
      <ejb-class>src.MyBean</ejb-class>
      <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
      <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>

      </enterprise-beans>
      </ejb-jar>


      (5) jboss.xml as below:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

      <enterprise-beans>

      <ejb-name>MyBean</ejb-name>
      <local-jndi-name>ejb/myEJBMapping</local-jndi-name>

      </enterprise-beans>


      (6) and below is my client code:

      package MyClient;


      import javax.naming.Context;
      import javax.naming.InitialContext;
      import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;

      import java.rmi.*;
      import java.util.Hashtable;
      import java.util.Properties;

      import javax.ejb.*;
      import src.*;
      public class MyClient{
      public static void main(String[] args){
      try{
      // Get an initial context
      InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext(properties);
      System.out.println("Got context");

      // Get a reference to the Bean
      Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("ejb/myEJBMapping");
      System.out.println("Got reference");

      // Get a reference from this to the Bean's Home interface
      MyBeanHome home = (MyBeanHome)
      PortableRemoteObject.narrow (ref, MyBeanHome.class);

      // Create an Adder object from the Home interface
      MyRemoteBean sp = home.create();
      }catch(RemoteException rex){
      rex.getLocalizedMessage();
      }catch(Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace(); }
      }

      }


      After running the client code getting below exception:

      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:645)
      at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:247)
      at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:284)
      at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351)
      at MyClient.MyClient.main(MyClient.java:78)


      Can anyone please suggest over this?

      Thanks in advance.
