This exception usually means the JNDI Server is not running, or possibly the JNDI properties for the server are incorrect.

Hi,
For weblogic 8.1 if you are calling for a client that is not on the same server then you need to get the Initial context by providing the server properties. Please see the sample code:

InitialContext context=null;
Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://localhost:7001");
try {
context= new InitialContext(ht);
}


hope that helps.
