Context Factory - Urgent help please

[Ambrose R Tati]

Dear all,
where can I get this class from?com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory
So that I can do something like
Hashtable env = new Hashtable(11);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
Many thanks
Ambrose Tati

ambrose, like i said to the others trying to use jndi, i haven't got it working yet but i need to soon. are you trying to access an LDAP server on your own server, or someone else's?

[Thomas Paul]

This is part of the file system service provider. The file system service provider is part of the JNDI software.
You can download it from...

Hi Tom ,
do you know whether that will help with the LDAP service as well?

[Thomas Paul]

Have you installed an LDAP service?

I'm trying to access a remote LDAP server. Curiously enough even though I have the ldap.jar file installed and can instantiate classes from it, the following code throws the exception "cannot instantiate class: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"

DirContext objDirContext = null;
Attributes objAttributes = null;
NamingEnumeration enumResults = null;
Name objName = null;
String strURLName = "ldap://scd2ldap.siemens.net/";
String strNamePair = "";
Hashtable hashSetup = new Hashtable();
hashSetup.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
hashSetup.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, strURLName);
// SETUP LDAP CONTEXT
objDirContext = new InitialDirContext(hashSetup);
// CONSTRUCT RND (RELATIVE DISTINGUISHED NAMES) ATTRIBUTE/VALUE PAIRS
strNamePair = strName + "%20" + strFirstName;
enumResults = (NamingEnumeration) objDirContext.search( strNamePair, "", null);
