ClassNotFoundException: trying to load OC4J JNDI InitialContextFactory

Question

Hello!
Trying to make a call to an EJB deployed in OCJ4 from a oracle java stored proc. After loaded orion.jar and crimson.jar lib into SCOTT schema, I can't get the JNDI Context working because of this error:
============================================
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class:
com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory. Root exception is
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com/evermind/server/ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Class.java)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java)
at com.sun.naming.internal.VersionHelper12.loadClass(VersionHelper12.java:45)

at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.init(InitialContext.java)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.<init>(InitialContext.java)
===============================
I did load the java with "loadjava" with on time with the "resolve" option and time time no option and still no working.
Here is the EJB client code:
=======================================
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory;
class EmpRemoteCall {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(getEmpName());
public static String getEmpName() {
String ejbUrl = "java:comp/env/ejb/Emp";
String username = "admin";
String password = "admin";
Hashtable environment = new Hashtable();
environment.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory");
environment.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://127.0.0.1/testemp");
environment.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
environment.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
//environment.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, ServiceCtx.NON_SSL_LOGIN);
//environment.put(javax.naming.Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "oracle.aurora.jndi");
com.kboum.sertir.essais.EmpHome homeInterface = null;
try {
Class.forName("com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory", true, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
System.out.println("Creating an initial context");
Context ic = new InitialContext(environment);
System.out.println("Looking for the EJB published as 'java:comp/env/ejb/Emp'");
homeInterface = (com.kboum.sertir.essais.EmpHome) ic.lookup(ejbUrl);
catch (CommunicationException e) {
System.out.println("Unable to connect: " + ejbUrl);
e.printStackTrace();
//System.exit(1);
catch (NamingException e) {
System.out.println("Exception occurred!");
System.out.println("Cause: This may be an unknown URL, or some" +
" classes required by the EJB are missing from your classpath.");
System.out.println("Suggestion: Check the components of the URL," +
" and make sure your project includes a library containing the" +
" EJB .jar files generated by the deployment utility.");
e.printStackTrace();
//System.exit(1);
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("Unable to connect: " + ejbUrl);
e.printStackTrace();
//System.exit(1);
try {
System.out.println("Creating a new EJB instance");
com.kboum.sertir.essais.Emp remoteInterface = homeInterface.findByPrimaryKey(Integer.valueOf("7369"));
System.out.println(remoteInterface.getENAME());
System.out.println(remoteInterface.getSAL());
remoteInterface.setSAL(2);
System.out.println(remoteInterface.getSAL());
return remoteInterface.getENAME();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
return "error";
}

Is there a way to add jar libraries to the Oracle JVM CLASSPATH? Is this the same as the system's CLASSPATH env. variable?
Thank you!

The package prefix in the code extract was correct - i.e. "oracle.aurora.jndi". A value of "oracle.aurora.jndi.*" would be incorrect.
The problem is that the context factory implementation specified (com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory
) can't be found, the mostly likely reason being that the library containing the class isn't on the classpath.
