Corba ORB exception while creating InitialContext

[Johann Dobbins]

This may be slightly off topic, but I could desperately use some help. I am adding a standalone ejb client to an existing project. The project has some corba ORB stuff going on somewhere which is used for setting retrieval (this is not a subject I'm very familiar). My client connects (attempts to connect) to a Glassfish V2 instance on a separate machine. I get the below stack trace when I try to create an InitialContext. In order to confirm this isn't a classpath or properties or whatever else issue, I created a dummy program, which runs in the same environment with the same classpath settings as the client. The dummy just contains a main method that creates an InitialContext for my glassfish instance, and the dummy is successful.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Johann,

Your best bet is to pursue this in the GlassFish forums.

Off hand, it looks like a clustering mis-configuration or some kind of network/routing issue. The other possibility is that jndi.properties is not set correctly or you aren't connecting to the right JNDI instance somehow.

Sorry can't help you further,

You need to pass the following parameters -

    
Properties props = new Properties();

props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "com.sun.enterprise.naming");
props.put(Context.STATE_FACTORIES, "com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl");
props.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "192.168.3.30"); // host name or IP of the application server
props.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "3700"); // this is the default port

Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
Foo.SomeRemote sessionBean = (Foo.SomeRemote) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ctx.lookup(Foo.SomeRemote.class.getName()), Foo.SomeRemote.class);

The code above assumes default binding in the RMI registry. Refer to glassfish docs for more information.

I hope this helps.

Regards.
