Hello,

I'm still learning from K&B's Head First EJB book. Thanks to Valentin Tanase's advice I solved my previous problem and managed to deploy my first session bean.
Unfortunately I have run into a JNDI problem. I made a client to test my bean, but when I try to run it I got an exception:

javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial

My code looks like this:


I suppose some InitialContext parameter is missing but the book's example has no paramater and I have no idea what to do.

I'm using the J2EE 1.4 SDK with it's bundled Sun Java System Application Server.

Could you help me please?

Thanks in advance.
Peter

After a day's search I have solved my problem. Maybe somebody is interested , so I write it to here.

I have to give 2 jars for the client like this:


appserv-rt.jar is needed because it contains a file called jndi.properties which contains defaults settings for Sun's application server. And I suppose it contains classes which are also required.
j2ee.jar is required too besause client use classes from it.

Now it`s working.
