JUnit and JNDI

Question

Hi, i am new to enterprise studio 8 and J2EE. I just want to ask what configuration or files that I need to setup so that the error below would be solved and so that i can successfully run my test cases using JUnit.
Testcase: testGetUser(test.user.UserDAOTest):     Caused an ERROR
Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial
at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:645)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:247)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:284)
The code in my test case uses this lines....
        Context ctx = new InitialContext();
        DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/JournalDB");
        conn = ds.getConnection();Is it possible to run a test case (Junit) in Studio Enterprise 8 that uses jndi? i can't find any post on the internet how to solve this.
thanks!

Suppose you need to specify the service provider to use for the initial context and provider�s location.
Something like:
�
Context ctx = getInitialContext();
�
static public Context getInitialContext() throws Exception {
java.util.Hashtable props = new java.util.Hashtable();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://localhost:49152");
return new InitialContext(props);
}
