JNDI lookup errors

[James White]

I am using ant to build and compile a simple EJB. The EJB builds and deploys to jboss 4.0.2 fine, but when I try and run the client here is what I get:

C:\workbook\homework1>ant run.client_1
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

compile:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\workbook\homework1\build\classes

ejbjar:

I am using this code to access the EJB:

import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.Context;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;

public class Client_1
{

public static void main(String [] args)
{
try
{
Context jndiContext = getInitialContext();
Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("PersonHomeRemote");
PersonHomeRemote home = (PersonHomeRemote)
PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,PersonHomeRemote.class);
PersonRemote person_1 = home.create(new Integer(1));
person_1.setFirstName("James");
person_1.setLastName("White");
person_1.setCity("Chicago");
person_1.setState("IL");
person_1.setAddress("123 Main Street");
person_1.setZipCode("60600");

Integer pk = new Integer(1);

PersonRemote person_2 = home.findByPrimaryKey(pk);
System.out.println(person_2.getFirstName());
System.out.println(person_2.getLastName());
System.out.println(person_2.getState());
System.out.println(person_2.getAddress());
System.out.println(person_2.getZipCode());

}
catch (java.rmi.RemoteException re){re.printStackTrace();}
catch (javax.naming.NamingException ne){ne.printStackTrace();}
catch (javax.ejb.CreateException ce){ce.printStackTrace();}
catch (javax.ejb.FinderException fe){fe.printStackTrace();}
}

public static Context getInitialContext()
throws javax.naming.NamingException
{
//return new InitialContext();
/**** context initialized by jndi.properties file */
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "jboss.naming rg.jnp.interfaces");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");
return new javax.naming.InitialContext(p);


}


}

The line of code that is erroring out is the jndi lookup (Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("PersonHomeRemote") . I have this interface (PersonHomeRemote) in both my ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml files, but I'm still not sure why the client is unable to find my EJB. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

JW

The interface is not enough. The lookup is returning a stub, so you must place the stub class onto the client's classpath as well.

The interface is not enough. The lookup is returning a stub, so you must place the stub class onto the client's classpath as well.

I am not sure how I do that. I am testing from the same machine I am calling the stub from. I know I don't necessarily need a remote interface for this particular example. I still would like to know how I can add the stub to the classpath.

Thanks,
