Hi ,
I've looked up the archives and seen some related postings, but it is
not clear what the answer to my problem is. I am running Tomcat 4.0.4 on
Windows and running Java 1.3.1.
I have a standalone program which listens on a JMS topic. It locates the
topic via the following:
Context jndiContext = new
InitialContext();
TopicConnectionFactory
connectionFactory = (TopicConnectionFactory)
jndiContext.lookup("TopicConnectionFactory");
Topic topic = (Topic)
jndiContext.lookup(destination);
This works correctly.
I want a servlet running on Tomcat to send messages to the same JMS
topic. There are no EJBs involved and hence I have the jms.jar in the
Web-INF/lib directory of the webapp. The servlet fails to locate the
TopicConnectionFactory as it "is not bound in this context" within
Tomcat.
What context should I be using? In a previous version of Tomcat, when
using EJBs I used the
com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory. When I try to use
this context I get an error saying that Tomcat cannot instance this
class. When I put the j2ee.jar in the WEB-INF lib, it blows up.
So the questions are:
1.For a servlet to send messages to a JMS topic (without needing access
to EJBs) what context factory should be used (I have J2EE RI available)?
2. If the answer is com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory
for the J2EE RI, how do I get the Tomcat classloader to see the
j2ee.jar?
Thanks,
Sean
