RE: Which JAR do I need to run an external client app

[SAURUGGER,PETER (A-PaloAlto,ex2)]

This problem seems to be similar to what I have been running into when
trying to start an Application Client from WebStart - which also involves
copying the jars to the webstart cache.

It's got something to do with Orions jndi implementation, I suspect - we got
the same thing running in another appserver without a problem.

Anybody out there got any idea? Maybe we need to report this as a bug?

Subject: Which JAR do I need to run an external client app


Hello,

I have the following problem. I created a Java Client application that
accesses an EJB. I start the client with the following batch file.

set
CLASSPATH=H:\oc4j\j2ee\home\ejb.jar;.;H:\oc4j\j2ee\home\orion.jar;H:\oc4j\j2
ee\home\jndi.jar
java HelloClient

where H:\oc4j\j2ee\home ist the directory where I installed the OC4J/Orion
Server on my computer. When I start the client with this batch file
everything works fine.

As I don't want to install OC4J/Orion on each PC where the client should run
I copied the three JAR file that ar listed in the CLASSPATH from
H:\oc4j\j2ee\home to D:\ExtraJARs. I changed the batch file to 

set
CLASSPATH=D:\ExtraJARs\ejb.jar;.;D:\ExtraJARs\orion.jar;D:\ExtraJARs\jndi.ja
r
java HelloClient

After the change I get the following error

javax.naming.NamingException: java:comp/env namespace is only available from
within a J2EE component
        at
com.sun.enterprise.naming.java.javaURLContext.getComponentContext(../../src/
share/com/sun/enterprise/naming/java/javaURLContext.java:392)
        at
com.sun.enterprise.naming.java.javaURLContext.lookup(../../src/share/com/sun
/enterprise/naming/java/javaURLContext.java:51)
        at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(Unknown Source)
        at HelloClient.main(HelloClient.java:9)

Can anyone explain why it works when I use the three JARs from the
H:\oc4j\j2ee\home directory but doesn't work when I try to use the copied
JAR files.

Thanks

Peter
