JNDI bind from StartupClass ?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to perfrom a simple JNDI bind from my StartupClass's startUp
method using the following code [where configFileName is a valid
string]:
     Context ctx = new InitialContext();
     try {
          CompositeName name =
               new CompositeName("java:comp/env/ConfigFile");
          ctx.bind(name, configFileName);
     } catch(Exception e) {
          System.err.println("\nException while trying to bind.\n");
          e.printStackTrace();
I recieve the following exception:
Exception while trying to bind.

The same code works from a JBoss MBean (analagous to StartupClass).
Can you tell me what, if anything, I'm doing wrong?
Thank you,

The startup class uses cosnaming for JNDI so it behaves the same as the
rich client, ie no java:comp/etc.. you will need to use the absolute
name.
