I'm using Tomcat 5.1.24 on Linux and coming across the following scenario:

I have a class named Search that does very few things, but it does create a
Context object.  

MyObj l = null;
      Throwable t = null;
      try {
         InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
         l = (MyObj)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/myobj");
      }

In my web.xml file I have a resource defined for it as so:

<resource-ref>
      <description>MyObj</description>
      <res-ref-name>myobj</res-ref-name>
      <res-type>obj</res-type>
      <res-auth>CONTAINER</res-auth>
      <init-param serverUrl="url removed for security/>
      <init-param username="usernameremovedtoo"/>
      <init-param password="dittoonpassword"/>
      <init-param applicationId="MyObjects"/>
   </resource-ref>

(I've changed some of the entries for security purposes).

When I use a .jsp to start a bean using this class, here is the error I get
(cut down, so you actually see the errors):

Line 23 in Search.java is the one where I do the lookup on the naming
context.  I have a feeling this is failing, but I'm not sure why.  Can
anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Brent Worley
