I am trying to port petstore application.
in the populateservelt At following place error is occuring.
private Connection getDBConnection() throws IOException {
DataSource datasource = null;
try {
Hashtable prop = new Hashtable();
prop.put ("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
prop.put ("java.naming.provider.url",
"jnp://localhost:1099");
prop.put ("java.naming.factory.initial",
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(prop);
System.out.println("intial context ="+ ic);
java.util.Hashtable ht = ic.getEnvironment();
java.util.Enumeration e = ht.elements();
while(e.hasMoreElements())
{
Object o = e.nextElement();
System.out.println("The key is="+o);
Object v = ht.get(o);
System.out.println("value is v= "+v);
}
error >>>>>>>> Object myobj =(Object)ic.lookup("java:/comp/env/ejb/customer/Customer");
System.out.println("the lookup obj is="+myobj);
datasource = (DataSource) ic.lookup(ESTORE_DATASOURCE);
System.out.println("Got DS !! it is ="+datasource);
} catch (NamingException ne) {
throw new IOException("NamingException while looking " +
"up DB context : " + ne.getMessage());
}
----
The lookup is failing and probalbly the reason may be because the values for the objects are null as
21:13:33,596 INFO [STDOUT] intial context =javax.naming.InitialContext@3dd208
21:13:33,606 INFO [STDOUT] The key is=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
21:13:33,606 INFO [STDOUT] value is v= null
21:13:33,606 INFO [STDOUT] The key is=localhost:1099
21:13:33,606 INFO [STDOUT] value is v= null
21:13:33,606 INFO [STDOUT] The key is=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
21:13:33,606 INFO [STDOUT] value is v= null

It appears to me that JNDI lookup failure.
I wonder why Jboss does not throw Naming exception at all !!
No error messages.The method call simply won't return.
Any ideas what I need to do.
Incidenatlly,Weblogic gives very user friendly error messages for similar errors.
thanks,
