Having problem to run JMS tutorial

Question

Hi,
I have successfully compiled and add MyQueue to the queue. But when I try to run the sample program from the JMS tutorial my system would produced the exact error that I have posted bellow:
=========================================
F:\ttech\jeti\classes>java -Djms.properties=F:\j2sdkee1.3.1\config\jms_client.pr
operties SimpleQueueSender MyQueue 3
Queue name is MyQueue
JNDI lookup failed: javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify clas
s name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an ap
plication resource file: java.naming.factory.initial
====================================
If some body could please tell me what I am doing wrong here. I have installed all the jar files (like jms.jar, jndi.jar) and j2sdkee1.3.1 and jsdk1.3.1_01 and set up all the classpath accordingly.
Thank you so much.
Amir.

This script should get rid of your troubles:
Just to lay it all out, here is how to "run" the code.. the compiling is a breeze. So, this is only how to generically get things to run. Specific of *nix, but I'm sure windows users can pick-out the important parts.
#!/bin/sh
J2EE_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdkee1.4
# this assumes your PATH already points to the following:
# (the j2ee goodies listed below)
# $J2EE_HOME/lib/j2ee.jar
# $J2EE_HOME/lib/system/jmsra.jar
# and of course... the standard java libs.
#below the ~/code/w3track/jms1.0.2b/src/
# is the directory where I manually compiled #The jms libraries in...
# this could instead point to the jms.jar file in the lib directory.
p=$PATH:$J2EE_HOME/lib/j2ee.jar:$J2EE_HOME/lib/system/jmsra.jar:~/code/w3track/jms1.0.2b/src/:.
[ "$1" != "" ] && java -server -Djava.endorsed.dirs=$J2EE_HOME/lib/endorsed -classpath $p $1
# first setup the queue,
#I'll assume you have started a jms queue by
#first starting #the j2ee -startRegistry and
# j2eeadmin -addJmsDestination q1des queue
#example of running:
# ./<this_script> "SendToQueue q1des 5"
#this will send 5 messages into the queue.
#hope this helps some people out
#there who are having issues getting the compiled
#code to run. Good Luck!
