The problem, is that I AM connecting to ANOTHER server from a client.  It's
just happends that the client is an Orion.  Using
ApplicationInitialContextFactory attempts to read META-INF/application.xml,
but I need to specify <ejb-ref>, <env-ref> and other such entries which you
cannot be put into application.xml.

There may be a clue to this question in the following error message that is
generated when trying the
com.evermind.server.ApplicationInitialContextFactory from an application
client:

"javax.naming.NamingException:
com.evermind.server.ApplicationInitialContextFactory should only be used
inside Orion server environments. For client
com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory or
com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory should be used"

I suggest you try the ApplicationInitialContextFactory instead of the
ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory in your situation.


Somewhat related, I have been trying to get an application client working.
I have succeeded in connecting to the orion rmi server, looking up an ejb,
and retrieving data. I would like to authenticate against the
EJBUserManager that is configured for our web applications. However, it
appears that the rmi authentication defaults to XMLUserManager - i.e., I
can only authenticate for users defined in the principals.xml file. This
could be related to the orion Bugzilla #374. Can anyone provide some
insight into the RMI authentication? Thanks.

Regards,

Earl
