Hi basically this happens when you don't provide InitialContexFactory to the Initialcontext when creating an InitialContext object. If your code resides inside tomcat you don't need to do this because it knows where its directory service is located. But if you want to connect to directory service from outside tomcat I am not sure whether you can do it or not? If you want to do it there is only one way? Find where the implementation of the factory interface is. It is responsibility of the service provider to provide its implementation. Once you find it create env properties accordingly and pass it to InitialContext constructor while creating object for that.

I don't think Tomcat embedded does that automatically*, so you would need to provide it yourself. p * someone will correct me if I'm wrong. > I'm using the tomcat jars for the version 6.0.18, and this is how I'm trying > to do it: > > tomcat = new org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat() //creates the new server > > ... // configures the server > > StandardContext application = tomcat.addWebapp(); //creates the web >> application > > ... // configures the web application > > resource = org.apache.catalina.deploy.ContextResource() // creates the new >> JNDI resource > > ... // configures the JNDI resource with the name, type and properties > > application.getNamingResources().addResource(resource) // adds the resource >> to the application context > > >> tomcat.start() //start tomcat > > > This is more or less the code, seems I'm not configuring anything because > without the resource it works fine. > > Can anyone help me? > > Thank you > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
