Hi,
there is an exception thrown when I try to run a standalone application look up the jndi in websphere. I really have no clue what the cause is, is there anyone can provide some advice? thanks !!
The exception is as below:

check your provider url, make sure it looks like something this:
"corbaloc:iiop:myhost.mycompany.com:2809"

...
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import com.ibm.websphere.naming.PROPS;
...
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "corbaloc:iiop:myhost.mycompany.com:2809");
env.put(PROPS.NAME_SPACE_ROOT, PROPS.NAME_SPACE_ROOT_CELL_PERSISTENT);
Context initialContext = new InitialContext(env);
...

I have a similar problem, and I think this might do the trick. Do you know what jar those IBM PROPS are in?

I've tried hunting them down, but no luck as yet.
