Where to put jndi.properties in Web application to lookup remote EJB?

Question

Hi All,
I want to use EJB deployed in an OC4J from web application deployed in another OC4J.
I've try to put jndi.properties file into WEB-INF/classes; package it into a jarfile and put into WEB-INF/lib, ... In all case, it doesn't work.
If I hard-coding the env properties as following, it works.
env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "oracle.j2ee.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory" );
env.put( Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "oc4jadmin" );
env.put( Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "welcome1");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "opmn:ormi://fmtresearch:6005:home/TEST");
But if I put those env properties in jndi.properties file, it doesn't work.
java.naming.factory.initial=oracle.j2ee.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
java.naming.security.principal=oc4jadmin
java.naming.security.credentials=welcome1
java.naming.provider.url=opmn:ormi://fmtresearch:6005:home/TEST
Note that, the jndi.properties work if it is used in client application.
Please help me! Thanks.

This may not help you directly. However, did you try printing the environment properties in the InitialContext you created.
Another thing.
You can use this function after creating the initial context to see the JNDI tree and see if it contains anything.
Thank you.
Function To list the JNDI Context name-object bindings
private void listContext2 (Context ctx, int ind, String name, String spaceIndent) {
String indent = spaceIndent + "[" + Integer.toString (ind) + "]" ;
try {
System.out.println (indent + "{" + name + "}");
NamingEnumeration justList = ctx.list(name);
while (justList.hasMore()) {
NameClassPair listItem = (NameClassPair) justList.next();
String className = listItem.getClassName();
String subName = listItem.getName();
boolean isRelative = listItem.isRelative();
String relativeName = ("".equals(name) ? new String(subName) : new String (name + "/" + subName));
listContext2 (ctx, (ind+1), relativeName, (" " + spaceIndent) );
catch (Exception exc) {
System.out.println ("Exception Occured at listContext2");
Hope it helps not deviates. Good luck
