hi,
I have also found that the following code :

// Take the first server and its first protoccol and create a
// connection to the remote MBeanServer
JMXConnector lConnector = (JMXConnector) lLocalServer.invoke(
lFactoryInstance.getObjectName(),
"createConnection",
new Object[] {lConnectorName},
new String[] {lConnectorName.getClass().getName()}
);

produces the following error :

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

Even though the JNDI properties are set up correctly.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

hi Juha,
I'm not sure how to check this, but, I looked at http://host:8082 and went to service=JNDIView and listed everything bound in JNDI and I found :
+- jmx:sun02:rmi (class: org.jboss.jmx.server.RMIConnectorImpl)

Is this what you are looking for ? If not, would you please give me some more information about what you suggested ? Thanks !

I had an idea actually, that the problem might be that the environment that I am trying to connect to JBoss from might not be able to resolve the hostname : sun02 to an IP address...could this be the problem ? If so, how do I change the configuration to allow for this.

Thanks very much for any help.

Juha !
Thank you sooooooooo much !!!

That worked !

I have been banging my head against a wall for about 3 weeks trying to solve that problem !!

I know Adrian said the same thing as you, but I thought he was talking about the server side initial context, and it was only when you said that you need to have jndi.properties on the client side as well as the server side that I understood what the problem was and what Adrian was trying to tell me all along !

Well done to the JBoss team !!

Thanks again so much to both !!

yours in happy programming land :)
Angela.
