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

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

In my case at least it is java:whatever-is-in-application-client.xml or
orion-application-client.xml that's not available. Is there any other place
to specify the jndi location for an ejb? Experimented with
RMIInitialContextFactory as well without success.

with the follwoing entry in application-client.xml:

<ejb-ref-name>ejb/ArticleHandler</ejb-ref-name>

Whatever I specify, I get the following error (cm is application name),
e.g.:

Communication error: Invalid name:cm/ejb/ArticleHandler
Communication error: Invalid name:/cm/ejb/ArticleHandler
Communication error: Invalid name:ejb/ArticleHandler
Communication error: Invalid name:/ejb/ArticleHandler
Communication error: Invalid name:ArticleHandler

now what? How do I correctly specify the jndi name?

Peter,

The problem you are experiencing is because the JNDI locations need to be
changed when the location of the client jar is changed -- namely change
'java:comp/env/' to 'java:hello/client/' or some other path that is
appropriate.  'java:comp/env' is reserved for the application server's
environment resources; thus, a different JNDI entry must be created for your
application client when it is outside of the server.

Good luck on synchronizing all the xml entry names.

Dave

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
