Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Object obj = ctx.lookup("somepath/somename");
This code just looks up the JNDI tree to get an object bound by the name "somepath/somename". Looks simple. However, chances are that you might even see this exception:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: somepath not bound

Look closely at the stacktrace. It shows that while looking up the JNDI tree it could not find the jndi name "somepath" (this name may vary). The reason is simple, the JNDI tree does not have any object bound by this name.
To quote the javadocs of this exception "This exception is thrown when a component of the name cannot be resolved because it is not bound."
So how do i know, what's the name to which my object is bound? Each application server, usually provides a JNDI view which can be used to see the contents of the JNDI tree. If you know what object you are looking for (ex: the name of the bean), then you can traverse this JNDI tree to see what name it is bound to. The JNDI view is specific to every application server.
To give an example, JBoss provides its JDNI tree view, through the JMX console. Here are the steps, one has to follow to check the JNDI tree contents on JBoss:
- Go to http://< server>:< port>/jmx-console (Ex: http://localhost:8080/jmx-console)
- Search for service=JNDIView on the jmx-console page
- Click on that link
- On the page that comes up click on the Invoke button beside the list() method
- The page that comes up will show the contents of the JNDI tree.
Here's an sample of how the output looks like(just a small part of the entire output):

| +- D (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)
| +- C (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)
| +- B (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)
Let's see what this tells us. Let's consider the Global JNDI Namespace first. It contains (among other things) the following:
+- ebankTxController (proxy: $Proxy79 implements interface com.sun.ebank.ejb.tx.TxControllerHome,interface javax.ejb.Handle)
This tells me that an object which implements com.sun.ebank.ejb.tx.TxControllerHome and javax.ejb.Handle interfaces is bound to the JNDI tree by the jndi-name "ebankTxController". So if at all i have to lookup this object, my lookup code would be something like:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ctx.lookup("ebankTxController");
Similarly in the same Global JDNI Namespace, we see :
+- queue (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- A (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue)
Make note of the nesting of the names here. This tells me that an object of type org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue is bound by the name "A under the path queue". So your lookup for this object should look like:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ctx.lookup("queue/A");
Now let's move on to the java: namespace in the JNDI tree view above. The difference between a Global JNDI namespace and the java: namespace is that, the object bound in the java: namespace can be looked-up ONLY by clients within the SAME JVM. Whereas, in case of Global JNDI namespace, the objects bound in this namespace can be looked-up by clients, even if they are not in the same JVM as the server. One would ask, how does this matter? Consider a standalone java program(client) which tries to lookup some object on the server (running in its own JVM). Whenever a standalone client is started (using the java command), a new JVM is instantiated. As a result, the server (which is started in its own JVM) and the client are running on different JVMs. Effectively, the client will NOT be able to lookup objects bound in the java: namespace of the server. However, the client can lookup the objects present in the Global JNDI namespace of the server.
So, why are we discussing these details, in a topic which was meant to explain the NameNotFoundException? Let's consider the java: namespace output above. There's a
+- DefaultDS (class: org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.WrapperDataSource)
This tells me that there's an object bound to the name DefaultDS in the java: namespace. So my lookup code would be:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ctx.lookup("java:/DefaultDS");
As explained above, this code is going to return you the object, if this piece of code runs in the same JVM as the server. However, if this piece of code is run from a client in different JVM (maybe a standalone client), then it's going to run into NameNotFoundException. The reason i explained the java: and the Global JNDI namespace is that, sometimes people are surprised that even though the JNDI view shows that the object is bound in the java: namespace(with the same name as the one they pass to the lookup method), they still run into NameNotFoundException. The probable reason might be, the client is in a different JVM.

myself Nag from B'lore . Nice to see you the article .
I want to know some information . Even
+- SimpleSessionBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- remote (proxy: $Proxy74 implements interface beans.SimpleSession,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy,interface javax.ejb.EJBObject)
is available in Global Name Space but i am not to access from the client by using constructs "SimpleSessionBean/remote" ... please tell me how can i access it.
Thanks in advance
Nag,
Post the exception stacktrace that you see and also the code which you use for the JNDI lookup. Is your client a standalone Java class?
yeah here is the client code
//SimpleSessionClient.java
package client;
import beans.SimpleSession;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
public class SimpleSessionClient {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
SimpleSession simpleSession
= (SimpleSession) ctx.lookup(SimpleSession.class.getName());
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
String returnedString = simpleSession.getEchoString(args[i]);
System.out.println("sent string: " + args[i] +", received string: " + returnedString);
}
}
}
and the trace is
Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: beans.SimpleSession not bound
and also plz let me know the links abt good tutorials , books about EJB
ctx.lookup(SimpleSession.class.getName());
The lookup string is incorrect. If your JNDI view shows that the bean is bound to:
+- SimpleSessionBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- remote (proxy: $Proxy74 implements interface beans.SimpleSession,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy,interface javax.ejb.EJBObject)
then you should lookup with that exact same string. Change your lookup code to:
ctx.lookup("SimpleSessionBean/remote");
yesss ,,,, i know it is working with when I changed it to:
SimpleSession simpleSession = (SimpleSession) ctx.lookup("SimpleSessionBean/remote");
But ,
What is the correct naming convention to use for this? Why was the tutorial referring to the interface, while for it to work I had to change it to the actual implementation?
this is another issue....
client code is
package com.webage.client;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.*;

props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
props.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "localhost");
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);
SimpleBean bean = (SimpleBean) ctx.lookup("firstebj3/SimpleBeanImpl/remote");
String result = bean.sayHello("Billy Bob");
System.out.println(result);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {

You have a typo in that lookup string. firstebj3 should be changed to firstejb3
bestalltimes said:

*By default*, that's what the JNDI name is. You can specify any JNDI name you want to use either using annotations or through jboss.xml.
Thanks ... especially for Typo mistake :-)
If u dont mind , please send me the links that describe the EJB to the point
Thanks in advance

When i started off with EJB (2.x) i used "Mastering EJB". At present the new version of EJB3 has a lot of improvements for which you might want to refer "Mastering EJB3". I personally havent read that book yet.
I always hang out at www.javaranch.com site. This site has a section for various book reviews. Here's the url for the EJB book review section: http://www.javaranch.com/bunkhouse/JavaBeans.jsp
This might help you in deciding which one to go for.
Hi Jai,
what you have written over here is pretty simple and I just got the hang of things in a couple of minutes.
I had this helloworld app and deployed this in glassfish and jBoss. I did not know that we need to use a different lookup format for locating beans for different App Servers.
But now I am able to say " hello " in any app server.
Thanks!
Hello,
What's the difference between 'not bound' and 'JNDI implementation returned null'
Thanks

Arham,
Are you sure, you have installed and deployed the JBoss Messaging related artifacts correctly? The jndi contents that you posted does not contain anything related to the JMS. I would have expected a jndi-name "ConnectionFactory" to be present in the global JNDI namespace. You could then have used this in the lookup string.
QueueConnectionFactory qf = (QueueConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("ConnectionFactory");
Hi,I did try for using "ConnectionFactory" as a parameter in the lookup method tht U've suggested..but still teh same exception...Could you tell me as to how can I register my ConnectionFactory under Global namespace. I guess it's something to do with jms-ds.xml...but still cant figure out how to...:'(
Thanx in advance
Hi,I've verified that my installations are proper according to the document of jboss-messaging,could you redirect me to some links or pointers that could help me figure out what am I missing. :(
I am also facing the same issue as Arham. I have deployed Connection Factory and Topic which are visible in jboss.messaging.connectionfactory and jboss.messaging.destination, however the JNDI name are not visible in JNDI view.
I am using JBoss EAP 4.3 and JBoss Messaging 1.4.0_SP3
As such I am experiencing NameNotFoundException.
Thanks for the help..

Hi Jai,
Your blogs are really good.
I have 1 question.As of my perception says..When we have client and app. server in the same maching it implies that we are running under the same JVM.When I read your this blog it says
Whereas, in case of Global JNDI namespace, the objects bound in this namespace can be looked-up by clients, even if they are not in the same JVM as the server. One would ask, how does this matter? Consider a standalone java program(client) which tries to lookup some object on the server (running in its own JVM). Whenever a standalone client is started (using the java command), a new JVM is instantiated. As a result, the server (which is started in its own JVM) and the client are running on different JVMs. Effectively, the client will NOT be able to lookup objects bound in the java: namespace of the server. However, the client can lookup the objects present in the Global JNDI namespace of the server.
It made be in confusion.Can you explain me bit more in this.
Thanks once again.
Rahul B.
Just want to say Thanks so much for your posting - it explained a lot. The Global Namespace stuff is not entirely clear for newbies. It would be helpful to have an example on the JBoss page to that effect. I have spent hours on this!
Good to know it helped you :)
Hello Jai, excellent post by the way. I've got the following situation. I've injected (via guice) an ejb3 ref in a struts2 action. This is what I get in my global jndi view:
+- ep (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- com.xyz.services.UserServiceBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- remote (proxy: $Proxy105 implements interface com.xyz.services.UserService,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy)
| +- UserServiceBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
According to your post, I should reference the object via "ep/com.xyz.services.UserServiceBean/remote", right? Well, I keep getting this when I try to access this object and cast it to its interface (UserServiceBean implements UserService):
java.lang.ClassCastException
java.lang.Class.cast(Class.java:2990)
com.google.inject.jndi.JndiIntegration$JndiProvider.get(JndiIntegration.java:59)
com.google.inject.InternalFactoryToProviderAdapter.get(InternalFactoryToProviderAdapter.java:41)
com.google.inject.InjectorImpl$SingleFieldInjector.inject(InjectorImpl.java:473)
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot!
Corindiano,
You are using the correct lookup string. The ClassCastException either means an incorrect code or some classloading issue. Could you please create a forum thread here so that we can discuss this in detail? Please provide the entire exception stacktrace and other details there while posting. Thanks.
Hi Jai Kiran,
This was a nice article. Thanks for posting it.
Here is my issue. I am configuring and using jndi names in spring. My issue is as follows.
We have different datasources already configured in jboss and being used for years. Now I need to configure same datasources in a different application (spring based) so the same code that looks up jndi names in jboss should also work in spring app. I do not have the flexibility of changing datasource jndi names.
Current jndi lookup code is as follows:
Context jndiContext = new InitialContext();
datasource = (DataSource) jndiContext.lookup("java:/aDSName");
This above code works when called with in jboss but not in spring app.
I used xbean-spring-common api to configure datasource jndi with jndiname = "java:/aDSName" as described here: http://servicemix.apache.org/jndi-configuration.html
But the above code does NOT work when called from spring app. Gives following exception. Since your article doesn't cover spring based jndi lookup, I thought of asking you, in case you can help me.
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: aDSName

I am not able to find the queue name in the global jndi namespace & jboss version is 4.0.2
hi m new to jboss. m getting the error cannot lookup datasource with JNDI Name : jdbc-ds-SEC .I am not able to view the jndi name in the jndi tree.what i should do.
thanks JaiKiran by the help of this post i have successfully created my ejb hello word application.
"Now let's move on to the java: namespace in the JNDI tree view above. The difference between a Global JNDI namespace and the java: namespace is that, the object bound in the java: namespace can be looked-up ONLY by clients within the SAME JVM."
Bless you, my friend. I have wasted 1 day with this!
