Hi Mark, I had similar problems with Geronimo 2.1.
You can check out my simple method for traversing JNDI: private void traverse(Context ctx, String path) throws NamingException { // lists all contents of current context NamingEnumeration<Binding> ne = ctx.listBindings(""); while (ne.hasMore()) { Binding b = ne.next(); String name = path + "/" + b.getName(); // if current object is a context, traverse it if (b.getObject() instanceof Context) { traverse((Context) b.getObject(), name); } // otherwise print out object's name and its class else { logger.debug(name + " ==> " + b.getClassName()); } } } invoke it like this: Context c = new InitialContext(); traverse(c, "java:comp/env"); You can read more here: http://jee-bpel-soa.blogspot.com/2008/09/traversing-jndi-directory.html hope it helps :) best regards Łukasz 2008/11/17 Mark Aufdencamp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi All, > > It's been a while since I had to ask for help from the list, but I hit a > snag migrating an application from G-1.1.1 to G-2.1.3.
