hey people

I'm trying to run a very simple EJB to test my setup but i cant get past this naming error. My application is deployed correctly on jboss 3.0.6.

I try and run the client using the following command:

java -classpath c:\java\jboss-tomcat\client\*.jar;. Client "hello"

and i get the following error:

javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory

my jndi.properties file is on the server/default/conf folder on jboss and looks as follows:

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

Below is my Bean:

import javax.naming.*;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
import java.util.Properties;
import com.javapro.ejb.StringProcessor;
import com.javapro.ejb.StringProcessorHome;

public class Client {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// first argument must be the input
if (args.length==0) {
System.out.println("Please specify the input to convert to upper case.");
return;
}
String input = args[0];

// preparing properties for constructing an InitialContext object

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");

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("StringProcessor");
System.out.println("Got reference");

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

// Create an Adder object from the Home interface
StringProcessor sp = home.create();
System.out.println ("Uppercase of '" + input + "' is " +
sp.toUpperCase(input));
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}
}

I've looked everywhere for a solution without luck, I'm sure its something very simple, any ideas?
