This question seems to have been asked about a thousand times: I
apologize for bringing it up again.  I was unable to find a solution
that worked from among prior responses.
 
I want to configure Tomcat's InitialContext with Jboss' JNDI info.  Life
is good as long as I do things in code:
 
      Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
      env.put("java.naming.factory.initial",
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
      env.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
      env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "freud:1099");
      Context context = new InitialContext(env);


However, I obviously would like to put this in a jndi.properties file,
or externalize it in some other way.  I've tried putting the
jndi.properties file in the following locations:
 
$JAVA_HOME/lib
$JAVA_HOME/lib/ext
$TOMCAT_HOME/common/classes
$TOMCAT_HOME/common/shared
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib
 
Nothing works: when I check system properties just before creating an
InitialContext, I get the following output:
 
    java.naming.factory.initial is
org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory
    java.naming.factory.url.pkgs is org.apache.naming
    java.naming.provider.url is null

Followed by the inevitable exception:
 
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name PartnerManager is not bound in
this Context

How can I externalize these system properties?  I've also mucked with
the server.xml file quite extensively, without success.
 
I'm using Redhat 8.0, JDK1.4.1, and Tomcat 4.1.12.
 
Thanks!
Rod
