javax.naming.NoInitialContextException error when trying to bind from SOAP service bean

[Rahul Kirthivasan <he...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

I am having problems accessing an EJB Bean from within
a java class deployed at a Apache SOAP (2.1) URN
endpoint in TOMCAT(3.2.1). When I use JNDI to call
lookup, I get the following error. The EJB bean is
registered with the JNDI service in J2EE 1.3 and I
also have the J2EE server running. The problem does
not occur if I try to call lookup from a standalone
application. I also have added the client wrapper
stub that J2EE's deploytool generated in Tomcat
server's class path. Is there anything else that I
need to do to specify that Tomcat should lookup J2EE
JNDI service ?

Code :

 Properties props = System.getProperties();
 InitialContext jndiContext = new
InitialContext(props);
java.lang.Object objref =
jndiContext.lookup("MyTestBeanJNDIName");

Error Message :

Looking up EJB reference

t or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in
