Initial context and PROVIDER_URL default

Question

I´d like a short way to put into the initial context the correct provider.
Default value of PROVIDER_URL is "t3://localhost:7001", but this is tied to a specific port (I run two instances of Weblogic in a development environment).
How can I detect on wich port is running my instance of weblogic server in order to put the provider value in an independent way.
Thanks,

I am fairly new to JBoss as well, so I may be of limited help here. Although JBoss can use a jndi.properties file (as you are using) I have not experimented with this appraoch as of yet ...I supply a Hashtable filled with the appropriate properties.
i.e.
    java.util.Hashtable props = new java.util.Hashtable();
     props.put(
      Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
    props.put(
      Context.PROVIDER_URL,
    props.put(
      Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,
    Context ctx = null;
    try {
       ctx = new InitialContext(props);
    } catch (NamingException ne) {
      System.out.println("Failed to create JNDI context from EJB server.");
      System.out.println(ne.toString(true));
    }However, I am starting to think this might not be the problem. I was reading the JBoss newsgroup yesterday and there are some jars from the JBoss "client" folder that need to be included in the classpath when running your client, but I sent the doc I created home (I could verify for you later if we can'y figure it out here from memory). You need two for sure, one being $JBOSS_HOME/client/log4j.jar and the other being (something like) $JBOSS_HOME/client/clientall-jboss.jar
If you experiment with what you find in the client folder in the JBoss install dir, you will likely find the jars you need in the classpath by process of elimination.
Hope this helps, sorry all my references are at home at the moment.
