error initializing ord

[aj cec]

Can anyone help. I have this code. I am using Websphere v5.1
public class EjbUtils {

public static Context getInitialContext()throws NamingException{
Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
hash.put (Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
hash.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"iiop://localhost/9080");
return new InitialContext(hash);
}
______
public class JndiExplorer {
public static void main(String args[]){
Context ctx = null;
try{
ctx = EjbUtils.getInitialContext();
bindTestObject(ctx);
listBindings("",ctx);
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

}

private static void bindTestObject(Context context)throws NamingException{
List testBinding = new LinkedList();
testBinding.add("bound string");
testBinding.add(new Integer(2));
context.bind("test binding",testBinding);
}

private static void listBindings(String name,Context context)throws NamingException{
NamingEnumeration bindings = null;
String fullName = null;
try{
bindings = context.listBindings(name);
}catch(CannotProceedException e){
return;
}catch(Exception e){
return;
}
while(bindings.hasMore()){
NameClassPair binding = (NameClassPair)bindings.next();
fullName = name.equals("") ? binding.getName() : name + "." + binding.getName();
System.out.println("\r\nJNDI name : '" + fullName + "'");
}
try{
Object boundObject = context.lookup(fullName);
System.out.println("bound object toString == '" + boundObject + "'");
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
it displays an error:
javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to initialize the ORB. Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.ibm.ejs.oa.EJSORB

I have already included naming.jar (where the WsnInitialContextFactory is) and namingclient.jar (where the jndiproperties.properties is).
What seems to be the problem? thank you.

Read the parts of the infocenter that describe the "j2ee client" and "launchClient.bat" carefully. You can't just put random jars on your classpath and hope to make a WebSphere client program work. There's a special set of steps for this.
