How to look up the JNDI in Aun App server (version 8)

[Arun Kumar]

When I try to run the EJB application I am getting the following error

    
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file:  java.naming.factory.initial
 

I have searched the net but was not able to find a solution

My Code is

public void go(){
try{
Context ic = new InitialContext();
Object o = ic.lookup("ejb/AdviceBean");
AdviceRemoteHome home =(AdviceRemoteHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o,AdviceRemoteHome.class);
AdviceRemote advisor = home.create();
System.out.println(advisor.getAdvice());
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}    

and sun-ejb-jar.xml

 
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sun-ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 8.1 EJB 2.1//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-ejb-jar_2_1-1.dtd">

It's been quite a while since I use Sun Java System App Server 8. If I'm not wrong, you can go to the admin console->Application Server->In the General tab, click on the JDNI Browsing button. Make sure your JNDI is there. If not, then there must be something wrong with it.
