Getting Naming exception

Question

Hello all,
I have written a small sample code in Oracle ADF and when I try to run the client I am getting following error. This seems to be related to context lookup. Please advice what wrong am I doing here.
try {
final Context context = getInitialContext();
PracticeSessionEJB practiceSessionEJB = (PracticeSessionEJB)context.lookup("PracticeSessionEJB");
String department_name = "IT Administration 12";
String location_id = "1500";
practiceSessionEJB.addDepartment( department_name, location_id );
long empid = 100;
System.out.println(practiceSessionEJB.getSalary( empid ));
} catch (NamingException nex) {
System.out.println("***********Naming exception has occured**********");
nex.printStackTrace();
catch (Exception ex) {                   
ex.printStackTrace();
It is catching Naming exception here.
The exact stack trace which I am getting is
javax.naming.CommunicationException: Connection refused: connect [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]
     at com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIClient.lookup(RMIClient.java:258)
     at com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIClientContext.lookup(RMIClientContext.java:50)
     at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351)
     at buslogic.PracticeSessionEJBClient.main(PracticeSessionEJBClient.java:11)
Please help.
Thanks

Please provide some inputs..The database I am using is getting connected properly cause I am able to see all tables and their data in Jdev. This is related to context lookup only.
