Failed instantiate InitialContextFactory

zipzip81 Aug 22, 2012 11:16 PM

Hi,

I am new to Jboss and have a requirement that exactly same like https://community.jboss.org/thread/156091

The solution that posted in the thread is working in console application but its not working in web application.

When I deploy the web app into Jboss, it throws this error:

Failed instantiate InitialContextFactory weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory from classloader ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.WebClientProject.war:main" from Service Module Loader

Seems like Jboss doesnt recognise this class, any possible solution?

Thanks!

Do You have added all necessary weblogic libraries to your application or even droped it to the 'lib' folder of the JBoss installation?

Hi Wolf,

Yes, I added external library weblogic.jar into web application build path.

Also added weblogic.jar into jboss standalone/lib folder.

Jboss version that I'm using is 7.1.1,JDK 1.7. it is still giving error 'Failed instantiate InitialContextFactory weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory from classloader ModuleClassLoader'

Any possible solution that make Jboss to recognise external library like weblogic.jar?

Thanks!

Ok, JBoss7 is different, the lib folder is not used as in versions before!

See Classloading documentation.
You might add the weblogic libs as a module and set a dependency, or you pack it with the application.
