Vino,

Looks like you are missing JNDI properties. Please look into the JNDI documentation for your application server to see what you need to set these properties to.

Hope it helps,
Reza

I think you are trying to access a Resource which is on a Remote Machine .For this you need to set the environmental properties of it using any Map implemented class and pass it to the InitialContext().

<jndi-name>Advisor</jndi-name>
</ejb>

and
//**************************************************************
The client program
//**************************************************************

Object o = ic.lookup("Advisor");

//***************************************************************
Still why it is showing the error
//***************************************************************

Read the exception what it is saying .
"javax.naming.No.InitialContextException:Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter or inan application resource file:java.naming.factory.initial"

Create a Properties class with the environmental properties and pass it to the InitialContext();

Something similar to this :
