I am using the "MyEclipse EJB 3.0 Tutorial" as a base; It uses the Glassfish 2 server to deploy the EJB3 and run the test-client against. When I follow this tutorial as is, it works.

I need to deploy to JBOSS 5.1.0; so I set up the JBOSS server, sucessfully deploy the EJB3 to it. BUT when I execute the test client it blows up in the ctx.lookup

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
at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:645)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:288)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:325)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:392)
at com.hp.les.healthMonitor.myTestClient.main(myTestClient.java:15)

Can anyone help me with this?

The error still at the "ctx.lookup"

IwillNotQuit,
Can you add the context parameters in your client?
