Head First EJB question

[Anu Pardeshi]

I am new to EJB.
Even after following the steps suggested by Kathy for common CORBA.BAD_OPERATION error, I am still getting javax.naming.NoInitialContextException.
Any help will be appreciated.

Please provide a short code listing.

I'd guess that you are missing something from your classpath. In your code you've probably got something like:
Context ctx=new InitialContext();
Object obj=ctx.lookup("Advisor");
and you are failing on the lookup. The problem I'm suspecting is that you never really established a connection to the JNDI service of the EJB container.

I guess you are right.
As I said, I am new to EJB and started EJB only a week ago.
I have followed all the instructions from "Head First EJB" book.
I was able to install J2EE, use deploytool and deploy the application.
Do I have to install something other than J2SE SDK 1.3.1, J2EE 1.3, RI?
I have set the following environment variables:
PATH ${PATH};c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin
CLASSPATH ${J2EE_HOME}\lib\j2ee.jar
JAVA_HOME C:\jdk1.3.1
J2EE_HOME C:\j2sdkee1.3.1
Thanks for your help.

Hey Anu Pardeshi,

Bad Form!

Perhaps you could tell us the solution you found.

Thanks,

Mark

PS: The answer you got was here, FWIW:

PPS: I do agree with the sentiment about the book, and I hope the authors (I believe they read here) aren't offended if I add that I, too, expected an intro app with comments like "Just go with it for now." would Just Work (TM).
