I have a mbean that I launch via a deployed service.


It is an instance of castorjdoimpl; I know it is registering OK as I've stepped through it...

The binding section of its code is pretty standard

bind(new InitialContext(), "java:/" + _jndiName, this);

when I look at it in the mbean view it seems to be there properly (jdo/exercises). It is both in the jndi viewer and in the service list.

When I do a lookup from my web application (not from an ejb is this a problem ?) using what seems to be pretty standard

InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataObjects exercises = (DataObjects) ic.lookup ("java:/jdo/exercises");
if (exercises == null) {
errors.error ("JDO has not been correctly configured for the exercises database");
returnVal = false;
}

exercises is always null (although it is the correct type);

I'm really stuck here, any help would be appreciated!

thanks Colin
