Peter, It looks like your JNDI context info isn't initialized (stating the obvious - I apologize). I had a similar problem (with env-entry constructs). Tomcat 3.2 doesn't come with any JNDI so I had to add a JNDI service layer of my own. Prior to the servlet that makes the EJB call, the JNDI environment needs to be initialized such that any JNDI lookup calls know where to start looking from. Given I'm not an EJB wiz by any stretch of the imagination, all I can say is check the EJB documentation from ORACLE that specifies the setup steps needed to ensure that the intial context will succeed - I suspect that the EJB call is trying to find EJB home or something or other from the JNDI service. To solve my problem, I wrote a (very) simple interceptor that set up the initial context information for the JNDI that I'm using in the preService call of the interceptor. Sorry if I can't be of much more help. I hope that you solve your problem. Tomcat 4.0 looks to be much, much nicer in the JNDI area and for support of the ejb-ref construct (which Tomcat 3.x doesn't deal with). -Thom Peter Knight wrote: > I have tried to invoke EJB's from TOMCAT and get: > > Internal Servlet Error: > javax.servlet.ServletException: Need to specify class name in environment or > system property: > Root cause: > javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in > environment or system property: e.t.c. > > The EJB resides in an Oracle 8i 8.1.6 database. > I have included the EJB API and the two EJB jar files in the class path and > it doesn't seem to matter what I do, I cannot get it to work!! > PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! > > Regards Peter Knight > > _________________________________________________________________ > Important Note: This E-Mail is confidential, it must not be read, > copied, disclosed or used by any person other than the above > named addressees.
