Can't run a ejb client, please help

[Yongping Wang]

Hi,
I am new to weblogic5.1. I encountered a problem when I run:
java examples.ejb.basic.beanManaged.Client
the I got:
Beginning beanManaged.Client...
We were unable to get a connection to the WebLogic server at t3://localhost:7001
Please make sure that the server is running.
Unable to look up the beans home: Cannot instantiate class: weblogic.jndi.WLInit
ialContextFactory
I am using Weblogic5.1 , Actually, I follow BEA document step by step. Can't figure out why. Please tell me what's wrong and how to invoke its servlet (this example use two approaches).
Many thanks and have a nice weekend.

As per the error message it seems the server is not running..
But.. make sure the bean is deployed properly.
Try to use build script in the example..

I did use build script and checked everything is created correct. I think the real problem is t3://localhost:7001 and weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory because the example works fine in servlet mode but didn't work at all by using java client.
Can anyone explain it to me why?
I appreciate it very much.

Hi Wang,
Your problem is not on the server side but is on the client side. From the exception it looks like WLInitialConnection is not their in your classpath. The reason of why it works in the servlet is that in case of the servlet you use the default initial context, new InitialContext(); whereas in the client side you can't use the default context but you need to create a context which takes weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory as a parameter among the other things. Check your classpath settings to see whether this class is there.
Hope this helps.
Vikram.

Hi, Vikram:
Thanks for your reply.
I checked my classpath settings and they look fine. Here is my classpath setting:
CLASSPATH=C:\weblogic\lib\weblogicaux.jar;c:\visualcafeee\java2\lib\tools.jar;C:\weblogic\license;C:\weblogic\classes;C:\weblogic\myserver\clientclasses;C:\weblogic\myserver\server classes
Please tell me if some more classes need. Thanks again.
