Re: JNDI lookup on WAS

[Nathan Andelin <nandelin@xxxxxxxxx>]

We ran into something similar at a client site. Actually our HTTP Server was 
having trouble accessing an external name server, rather than WAS. It turned out 
that a firewall was blocking it. The client had a policy against allowing their 
IBM i server to connect to other servers on the Internet.

Subject: [WEB400] JNDI lookup on WAS

Has anyone successfully used a JNDI lookup on a Websphere application
server (WAS)?
I've got it running fine in the Websphere Studio development environment
but get a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException error when deployed to WAS.

It seems to have something to do with the scope but it looks right to me.
I noticed that the stack trace has the context as:
<Servername>/nodes/<Servername>/servers/<Servername>

When I look at the name space bindings in the WAS console I see:
cells/<Servername>/nodes/<Servername>/servers/<Servername>

Note the prepended "cells" in the scope.  I don't know where that came
from.

Thanks,
