initCtx.lookup("jmx") throws strange Exception

[Former Member]

Hi!

I am trying to get handle of an MBeanServer from the JVM like described

in the Netweaver help (in reality there is still a try .. catch clause to be added):

import javax.naming.InitialContext;

import javax.management.MBeanServer;

...

// Lookup MBeanServer from the JNDI

InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();

MBeanServer mbs = (MBeanServer) initCtx.lookup("jmx");

But if I do that I alway get this Exception you can see below. So now I wonder do I have a problem with the configuration of my server or is the documentation of SAP wrong? Has somebody else tried something like this.

Thanks for any hints!!

Hi Nils,

did you specify the InitialContext factory to be used? Because that's missing in the code snippet.

You should use something like

Properties env = new Properties();

env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");

..........

for more information about creating InitialContext see the documentation at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/08/8f633e0084e946e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Hope that helps.

Hi Ivaylo!

Thanks for the advice, but the thing is running on the server side and the document you refered me to says the following:

Clients that are running on the server side do not need to specify any properties. They simply use the InitialContext constructor without parameters:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();

And I suppose the "Properties env" is supposed to get in "InitialContext(env);", but since I won't use this call at all ...

Hm, it is a pity, since sometimes it would really easier not to do it remotely. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Nils
