Hi All,

I am not able to get the initialcontext from websphere. I have the following environment.

Server: WAS v6.01
OS: Win2K
Client: Java StandAlone Application.

Here's the code snippet, what I am using: I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks in Advance.
---------------------------------

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://localhost:9100");

try
{
  InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext(properties);
  System.out.println("Got context");

  Object ejbHome = jndiContext.lookup("StringProcessor");
  System.out.println("Got ejbHome");

  .....
}
catch(Exception e) {
      System.out.println(e.toString() + "\n" + e.getStackTrace());
}

Here's the console output:

Got context
javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to initialize the ORB [Root exception is java.lang.ClassCastException]

I guess you must be trying to get this context from an simple java client. I used to get a similar error. In WSAD if you are trying to do this from a simple java project you will get this error. If you are writing a client for an J2EE applicatin (ear) then try creating a client project for the J2EE application that should solve your problem.

Hello Satya,

You are right, I used a simple java client for this; but I tried the same in jsp also. There too, I am getting an initialization exception. What should be done for the ORB initialization? Any idea..

Thanks

Problem is resolved. JDK version mismatch will give this exception.

Thanks.

Hi, I am also getting the same problem. What is that meaning of JDK Version problem. Can you pls tell me how I can resolve this.

Thanks

Client JDK version should be the same as of the Websphere Server.

Hi,

I was also facing the same problem when looking up an EJB deployed on WebSphere v6 from standalone client JVM. I used IBM JDK that comes bundled with WebSphere installation for both the server and client. Could you please let me know how to resolve this.

The exception stacktrace is follows:

javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to initialize the ORB [Root exception is java.lang.ClassCastException]

Hi

Thanks for your help. After changed the java_home it is working for me. Now it is working for me.

Thanks

hi im using a stand alone java application to access a jndi data source configured on websphere 6.1 im getting the following error : failed to initialize the ORB... most of the solutions i got suggest to change from sun jdk to ibm jdk.BUT BUT how do we do that and what are the steps to be followed. Im an amateur...Please help its urgent

the code im using is given below: //WebsphereJNDI.java import java.sql.*; import java.util.*; import javax.sql.*; import javax.naming.*; import javax.rmi.*; public class WebSphereJNDI { private String websphere_server; private String jndi_datasource; private String sql_query; WebSphereJNDI(String serverpath, String jndiname, String query) { websphere_server = serverpath; jndi_datasource = jndiname; sql_query = query; } public ResultSet get_data() throws Exception { Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory"); env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, websphere_server); InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(env); DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup(jndi_datasource); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); Statement stm = conn.createStatement(); ResultSet res = stm.executeQuery(sql_query); // moving cursor to first row res.next(); return res; } } // ResultSetTester.java import java.sql.*; import java.util.*; import javax.sql.*; import javax.naming.*; import javax.rmi.*; public class ResultSetTester { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { WebSphereJNDI test = new WebSphereJNDI( "http://hostname:port no.", "jdbc/mydatasource", "SELECT * FROM pubs.dbo.authors"); System.out.println(dump_data(test.get_data())); } public static String dump_data(java.sql.ResultSet rs) throws Exception { int rowCount = 0; String result = ""; result += "
