Thanks Joav and for the other people stumbling on the same rock and by the way why don't they use a search box at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/ ?
I had to click in, search and and click out of it again for every faq topic!!!??? OK, I found the answer here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#externalJndi Can I access Tomcat's JNDI provider from outside tomcat? Not at this time. The question/answer should be worded/extended like . . . Even different Tomcat instances use different JNDI contexts, . . . and here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#ejb Is tomcat an EJB server? Can I use EJBs with tomcat? Tomcat is not an EJB server. Tomcat is not a full J2EE server. Tomcat is a Servlet container. Tomcat does support those parts of the J2EE specification that are required for Servlets, such as a subset of JNDI functionality. Furthermore, you can connect to remote J2EE servers, or run tomcat embedded inside a full J2EE server. Now I see, I was getting a little too fancy, I will have to use EJBs --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
