issue in binding object to JNDI

[Manish Shinde]

HI ALL,

I am getting an exception while binding the object to JNDI.I missing some minute thing over here.
I am using Netbeans 6.5 and Tomcat 6.0.

Following is code.

import javax.naming.*;

public class BindObject
{
 public static final String TITLE = "sams/book";
 public static void main (String[] args) 
 {
   Object object = "Some_String";
   try 
   {      
    Context initialContext = new InitialContext();
    System.out.println("hi...1.");
    Context envCtx=(Context) initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/");
    System.out.println(envCtx);
    System.out.println("hi....");
    envCtx.bind(TITLE, object);
    System.out.println("Bound object to name: " + TITLE);
   }
   catch (NamingException e) 
   {
    System.err.println("An error occurred while binding the object ("+ object + ") to the name '" + TITLE + "'");
    e.printStackTrace();
   }   
 }
}

I am getting Following Exception :
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

Thanks in advance

It looks like your application is using some JNDI property that is not correctly configured (java:comp/env/), or your application is not running in the correct environment (perhaps an environment that does not support JNDI).
In what environment is your web service and your web service client running? Are they deployed on different machines?
