JMS Topic context lookup issue

Question

I am trying to lookup a JMS TopicConnectionFactory using JNDI in Websphere Application Server. I have done the jndi setup correctly in the server. I have deployed my application in the server.

I have designed 3 java classes for Sender/Reciever/Listener. Then after deploying the WAR in the server, I have first tried to run the Receiver Code as a standalone java application. However it failed with error as :

Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Failed to create InitialContext using factory specified in hashtable at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManag‌​er.java:242)

Attaching my code snippet below :

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        InitialContext ctx=new InitialContext();  
        TopicConnectionFactory f=(TopicConnectionFactory)ctx.lookup("myTopicConnectionFactory");  
        TopicConnection con=f.createTopicConnection();  
        con.start(); 

        TopicSession ses=con.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
        Topic t=(Topic)ctx.lookup("myTopic");
        TopicPublisher publisher=ses.createPublisher(t);

        msg.setText("Hello World");

        publisher.publish(msg);
        System.out.println("Message successfully sent.");



    }

Here is my JNDI Connection details :

Where am I making the mistake?

Answer 1

Resolved with INITIAL_CONTEXT_LOOKUP.

Answer 2

In J2SE, you need to specify the class of the initial context factory use by WAS like this :

Properties env = new Properties();
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"iiop://<your WAS server>:<port usually 2809>");
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
InitialContext jndi = new InitialContext(env);
