ADDED 7/23.
Many views: Not even a "that's dumb" question in response. Can anyone at least tell me why such an embarrassingly trivial question seems to have no answer anywhere.
Q:
--- Have Wildfly 8 running on local machine localhost:9990. --- Have a Java program that need's Wildfly's IntialContext. --- Every reference says use: "Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);" --- Yet a week of searching turns up no set of properties that returns one. And no example of a java program that gets one.
Does no one ever do this? Really need help
Original Msg Below
I know many people have asked how to get an Initial context from Wildfly 8. But I have yet to find a simple answer with a simple example.
Therefore, I hope someone can tell my why this doesn’t work. I start Wildfly with standalone-full.xml
The three sections below have
A - Code summary of my test Class whose only purpose is to secure an Initial Context. (I only removed a lot of printing code that produced the next section.]
B - The Eclipse console output for a failure.
C - Cut and paste code. Just in case anyone can help me get this to work. I’d like to leave behind something the next new WF user can cut and past and run. The only difference from 1 above is that this version has all the static methods I used to format the output. NOTE: I know the comments I inserted about the less than sign sound dumb. BUT ... they are true.
