[Jython-users] Jython / EJB question

[<la...@lu...>]

Hi all. I'm working on writing a small client to an EJB in jython, that
I've already implemented in Perl. I'm using JBoss as my ejb server. I'm
stumped on calling javax.naming.initialContext.

Here's a snippet of the java code:

---- JAVA CODE --------
Properties env = new Properties();
env.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial",
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
env.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "localhost:1099");
env.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
"org.jboss.naming");

InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext(env);
Object ref  = jndiContext.lookup("interest/Interest");
----- END JAVA CODE -----

here's what I'm trying in jython:

---- JYTHON CODE --------
env = java.util.Properties()
env.setProperty("java.naming.factory,initial",
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory")
env.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "localhost:1099")
env.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming")

jndiContext = javax.naming.InitialContext()
jndiContext.lookup("interest/Interest");
---- END JYTHON CODE ----

Here's the error I'm getting w/ the jython code:

File "interest.py", line 15, in ?
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in
environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an
application resource file:  java.naming.factory.initial

Looking up javax.naming.InitialContext, I see this for its constructor:

public InitialContext(java.util.Hashtable environment) throws
NamingException

What I would guess, being almost totally new to both Jython and Java, is
that "env" is not being properly passed as a java.util.Hashtable, and
therefore I'm not getting a context to do my name lookup in.

I notice that NoInitialContext is thrown when JNDI cannot create an
initial context.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
