Regarding Stateless Session Bean

Question

This is the file i have created to invoke Stateless Sessionbean.
package stateless;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import stateless.Display;
import stateless.DisplayHome;
public class DisplayClient {
/** Creates a new instance of DisplayClient */
public DisplayClient() {
public static void main(String args[])
try
Properties props = System.getProperties();
Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
Object objref = ctx.lookup("Display");
DisplayHome home = (DisplayHome) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, DisplayHome.class);
Display d = home.create();
d.display();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception Occured");
e.printStackTrace();
But i am unable to execute this program because of the following error:
Exception Occured
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

Answer 1

Hi,
Use the following code to invoke an ejb from an standalone class:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "iiop://localhost:3700"); //3700 is default iiop port
ctx = new InitialContext(env);
Object objref = ctx.lookup("ejb/test");
testHome home = (testHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,testHome.class);
Get back in case of any issues.
