Ordinarily, I would assume this is a silly question, but did you make the jar
file which contains the "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory" class
available to the application? This particular class (as I recognize it) should
be in the "fscontext.jar" that is part of the "File System" sample JNDI service
