Hey, I guess you'll want to supply some properties to your InitialContext ... create a property file with content like
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099/ java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces and read it into a properties object and feed that to your call to 'new InitialContext()' ... that should do the trick. - Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of andrewi Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 3:55 PM To: jboss-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [JBoss-user] [Installation, Configuration & Deployment] - Need to specify class name in environment or system property hi when i try running the client i get Exception in thread "main" 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(Unknown Source) at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(Unknown Source) at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(Unknown Source) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(Unknown Source) at org.meerkat.fraud.client.Client.main(Client.java:12) the client source is package org.meerkat.fraud.client; import javax.naming.InitialContext; import org.meerkat.fraud.ejb.JFraud; public class Client { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); JFraud test = (JFraud) ctx.lookup(JFraud.class.getName()); System.out.println("Creating 1"); test.addCustomer("Andrews Place", "Andrew" ); System.out.println("Done"); } } any ideas ? tia Andrew View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3891703#3891703 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3891703 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list JBoss-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list JBoss-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
