Dirk, If you are trying to access the Tomcat JNDI from an external program then you are most likely out of luck since it doesn't look as if Tomcat is exposing it via a port like JBoss does.
"Tomcat 4 provides a JNDI InitialContext implementation instance to web applications running under it" Key words being "under it". You can read for yourself at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html If you want to access the JNDI from _within_ a Servlet then simply use: Context jndiContext = new InitialContext() ; If we have all misunderstood you and you are trying to access the JBoss JNDI from a standalone Tomcat then use this in your Servlet code: Properties props = new Properties(); props.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); props.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jnp.interfaces"); props.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"localhost:1099"); InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext(props); Obviously change localhost if JBoss is running on a different machine. You would also need to add a link to (linux) or copy the following files from $JBOSS_DIST/client to $CATALINA_HOME/lib : jboss-client.jar jboss-common-client.jar jboss-j2ee.jar jbosssx-client.jar jnet.jar jnp-client.jar log4j.jar Good luck. > Message: 11 > From: "Dirk Storck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: AW: [JBoss-user] Access InitialContext of Tomcat 4.0.2 > Date: Thu, 23 May 2002 15:39:08 +0200 > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > No from a stand alone Tomcat > Thanks ! > > > How can I access the InitialContext of Tomcat from whithin an > > external java > > programm? _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
