javax.naming.NameNotFound Exception

[Phani M]

Hi Friends

I tried several options to run my client Program but failed.
I have deployed my addressbook.ear in to Orion Server.
below is the Deployment Descriptor ejb-jar.xml configured with ejbname, Home ,Remote and Ejb Bean

<ejb-name>AddressEntry</ejb-name>
<home>addressbook.ejb.AddressBook</home>
<remote>addressbook.ejb.AddressEntry</remote>
<ejb-class>addressbook.ejb.AddressEntryBean</ejb-class>

and the application-client.xml is configured as

<application-client>
<display-name>SessionClient</display-name>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/AddressEntry</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<home>addressbook.ejb.AddressBook</home>
<remote>addressbook.ejb.AddressEntry</remote>
</ejb-ref>
</application-client>



and in my client program i am trying to get the HomeRefence as

try{
Context initial = getInitialContext();
Object homeref = initial.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/AddressEntry");
AddressBook home = (AddressBook)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(homeref,AddressBook.class);

}


and getInitialContext() is set as
try{

//ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory");
ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"ormi://localhost");
ht.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"admin");
ht.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"admin");
ctx = new InitialContext(ht);
}
return ctx;


Each time i am getting the same message by running my Client as:

MESSAGE:java:comp/env/ejb/AddressEntry not found in <global>
at com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext.lookup(.:121)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:347)
at addressbook.ejb.SessionClient.main(Unknown Source)


can any body give a lead to find where i am going wrong

With every appserver I have worked with there has to be a vendor-specific descriptor accompanying the ejb-jar.xml. In JBoss this file is jboss.xml, and I guess that there must be one for Orion too.
In this file you have to map the ejb names to the JNDI names. Here is an example from jboss.xml.

        <session>
            <ejb-name>NewsReaderBean</ejb-name>
            <local-jndi-name>NewsReader</local-jndi-name>
            <jndi-name>NewsReaderRemote</jndi-name>
            <ejb-local-ref>
                <ejb-ref-name>ejb/NewsSourceFacade</ejb-ref-name>
                <local-jndi-name>NewsSourceFacade</local-jndi-name>
            </ejb-local-ref>
        </session>

The thing to remember here is that the ejb-name tag in ejb-jar.xml is NOT the JNDI name. Maybe this is the solution to your problem.
