amith_pj · February 3rd, 2005, 03:14 AM

Hi,
I am trying to run this program from Chapter2 of Professional EJB by WROX.

Code:

import javax.ejb.*;
import simpleBean.*;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
 
class SalaryClient{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
            Object objRef = ctx.lookup("Salary");

            SalaryHome home = (SalaryHome) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objRef,SalaryHome.class);

            Salary bean = home.create();

            System.out.println("Monthly net salary: "+bean.calculateSalary(28000,2,500));
        }
        catch(javax.naming.NamingException ne){
            System.out.println("Naming Exception caught: "+ne);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println("Exception caught: "+e);
        }

    }
}

I am getting the following error:
Naming Exception caught: 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
Press any key to continue...

Can anybody help me on this please ????
