JDBC runtime error (Oracle 9i server and oracle 8i client)

Question

Hi,
Wud someone help me with this? Why am I getting this run-time error in the java application?
D:\shilpa\javaprogs>java -classpath %classpath%;.; CreateMovieTables
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environmen
t or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource f
ile: java.naming.factory.initial
at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:6
40)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:243
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.jav
a:280)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:347)
at CreateMovieTables.initialize(CreateMovieTables.java:18)
at CreateMovieTables.main(CreateMovieTables.java:101)
This is how I have created the data source:
public void initialize() throws SQLException, NamingException
          Context initialContext = new InitialContext();
          DataSource dataSource   = null;
          dataSource = (DataSource) initialContext.lookup("jdbc/oracle");
          connection = dataSource.getConnection();
     }I have set the classpath to: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\jre\lib where the jndi.properties file exists.
Here's the jndi.properties file:
datasource.name=oracle
datasource.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.119.5.98:1521:sea77db0
datasource.classname=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
datasource.username=tr1
datasource.password=tr1What am I doing wrong? Cud someone help me with this? It's working fine when I don't use the data source. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
