Hi there, does anybody experienced problems with jboss. While "executing" the following code snipplet : String jndiName = <xsl:text>"</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@jndiname"/><xsl:text>"</xsl:text>; debugMessage ("jndiname [" + <xsl:text>"</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@jndiname"/><xsl:text>"</xsl:text> + "] beanname [" + <xsl:text>"</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@beanname"/><xsl:text>"</xsl:text> + "]"); InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext(); debugMessage ("lookup started for [" + jndiName + "]"); Object ref = jndiContext.lookup(jndiName); debugMessage ("lookup finished"); <xsl:value-of select="@beanname"/>Home home = (<xsl:value-of select="@beanname"/>Home) PortableRemoteObject.narrow (ref, <xsl:value-of select="@beanname"/>Home.class); debugMessage ("narrow finished"); I receive "javax.naming.NoInitialContextException". $JBOSS_DIST/.../jndi.jar is in the classpath. I doubt its a classloading issue. The full text of the exception is : Cocoon 1.8.2 Error found handling the request. 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 at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:643) at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:246) at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:283) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:350) at _home._global._Projekte._Dsm._xml._content._menu._menu.populateDocument(_menu.java:166) at org.apache.cocoon.processor.xsp.XSPPage.getDocument(XSPPage.java:97) at org.apache.cocoon.processor.xsp.XSPProcessor.process(XSPProcessor.java:527) at org.apache.cocoon.Engine.handle(Engine.java:384) at org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon.service(Cocoon.java:183) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:588) at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.processRequest(JServConnection.java:317) at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.run(JServConnection.java:188) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) Regards Michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
