I want to register my mbean with JNDI so that a client can retrieve the JNDIName and use the mbean. It works when I use the RMIAdapter instead, but I wanted to try the JNDI way.

I bound my mbean to JNDI as follows (jndiname is "inmemory/maps/MapTest2":

 InitialContext rootCtx = new InitialContext();
 Name fullName = rootCtx.getNameParser("").parse(jndiName);
 NonSerializableFactory.rebind(fullName, this, true);

And obviously, it could be bound successfully because when I look at the JNDIView list of names, I can see the following:

+- inmemory (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- maps (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- MapTest2 (class: mytest.mbean.JNDIMap)


My client application tries to access the service now as follows:

Object obj = getContext().lookup ("inmemory/maps/MapTest2");
mytest.mbean.JNDIMap map = (mytest.mbean.JNDIMap)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, mytest.mbean.JNDIMap.class);

But it does not work. map is null. What is wrong with that code? Can anybody help me?
