Cannot Access EJB on Weblogic ???

[Kumar Navin]

Hi! Friends,
Am trying to access a Stateless EJB(deployed on Weblogic 8.1) through a servlet running on 9i AS, but is giving an exception as below :
NamingException Thrown : Cannot instantiate class: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory

The code snippet in my Servlet is as follows:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
prop.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://10.127.0.1:7001");
Context context = new InitialContext(prop);

I have put weblogic.jar in lib directory under WEB-INF.
It's working fine if the Servlet is called from Weblogic itself.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

-Navin.

I've never tried doing what you're doing, but you'll find that weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory class isn't in weblogic.jar, it's in wlclient.jar.

Kumar,
Pardon me if this is a silly question, but why are you mixing two application servers? For your information, Oracle 9iAS is also an EJB server. Perhaps you could just deploy your EJB to Oracle 9iAS -- and remove WebLogic from the equation?
(Or am I missing something?)

Good Luck,
Avi.

Hi! Avi,
quote:"pardon me if this is a silly question......" unquote.
But the task here is seperated. Certain issues in AS unknown at my level has forced to opt for another server. Now, even the thing might be moved to Tomcat, if the issues are not resolved.

Hi! Carol,
Tried the wlclient.jar, but didn't work. Nevertheless weblogic.jar also contains weblogin.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory class

Regards,

Hmmm, guess my brain was taking a coffee break when I checked that jar for that class.

Have you tried putting the jar on the system classpath?

You need to have the following files in your classpath
ecutils.jar, ffdc.jar, files.txt, idl.jar, iwsorb.jar, j2ee.jar, naming.jar, namingclient.jar, ras.jar, tx.jar, txPrivate.jar, utils.jar, wsexception.jar, xerces.jar

And also the properties file: implfactory.properties in your classpath.
