JRun's documentation sucks and it's code examples use deprecated methods.
Does anybody know the correct means to get a JNDI reference to an EJB home
interface from a servlet? I've tried most everything, but what I got before
pulling the rest of my hair out and quitting is a servlet containing, in
part:
Context jndiContext = getInitialContext();
Object ref = jndiContext.lookup( "java:comp/env/ejb/CustomerHome");
* * *
public static Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException {
Properties p = new Properties();
p.setProperty( Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ejipt://192.168.0.1:8100");
p.setProperty( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"allair.ejipt.ContextFactory");
return new InitialContext( p);
}
The PROVIDER_URL is the port for my JRun Server. The
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY is what the documentation says is correct, although
there is an InitialContextFactory class in another package. And the JNDI
lookup is in the recommended form. I've also tried the put() method of
Property. No matter what, ref is always null.
A couple of interesting things:
(1) I am not getting a NullPointerException (nor any other error) when
calling the servlet from a browser - just a page with some test HTML output
from a PrintWriter() statement prior to the JNDI lookup;
(2) assert always throws a NullPointerException:
assert ref == null;
assert ref != null;
assert ref.equals( null);
I know this is happening because the Rams lost the SB...Appreciate any
insight(s) you guys may have.
