Jean Louis, thank you for your quick reply. I start openejb in the way you described, and the startup is fine. I am also able to test some ejbs. However, if somewhere in our code, a new InitialContext is initialized, I get the exception.
so basically I have following configuration: class Beanfactory{ static void initContainer() { Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.openejb.client.LocalInitialContextFactory"); // THIS WORKS FINE InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(properties); } I want to test code that performs itself a "InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext()". This works well with jboss.embedded, but fails with openejb. For jboss.embedded we use a jndi.properties as configuration. so if the file is present in classpath, new IntialContext() works fine. I wonder if there is a similar configuration in openejb? thx, andreas p.s. here is the data in jndi.properties java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.LocalOnlyContextFactory java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces Jean-Louis MONTEIRO wrote: > > Andreas, > > Seems like you are still using JBoss InitialContext implementation. > Did you set your system properties to use OpenEJB InitialContextFactory ? > > Properties properties = new Properties(); > > properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, > "org.openejb.client.LocalInitialContextFactory"); > > InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(properties); > > Regards, > Jean-Louis > > > Andreas Karalus wrote: >> >> first of all, I would like to thank all the people in forum for the quick >> responses. openejb looks like solid piece of software. >> >> however, i'm still running into problems while trying to migrate our >> jboss embedded tests to openejb. >> >> booting of openejb works fine, however, we have some places in our code >> where we do a new InitialContext(). whenever this code is reached while >> openejb is running, I get a javax.naming.NamingException >> >> INFO - Deployed >> Application(path=D:\projekte\HEAD\ed02\env\testframework\target\classes) >> javax.naming.NamingException: Local server is not initialized >> at >> org.jnp.interfaces.LocalOnlyContextFactory.getInitialContext(LocalOnlyContextFactory.java:45) >> at >> javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:667) >> at >> javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:247) >> at javax.naming.InitialContext.init(InitialContext.java:223) >> at javax.naming.InitialContext.<init>(InitialContext.java:175) >> ... >> >> any ideas welcome, >> regards, >> andreas >> >> > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%22Local-server-is-not-initialized%22-tp19396008p19409100.html Sent from the OpenEJB User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
