When I run my program in Intellij, it throws this error on a console:

javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory]

Now, from what I gathered, it's clearly this piece of code that I wrote here that causes this error:

Properties props = new Properties();

            props.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory");
            props.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "com.sun.enterprise.naming");
            props.put("java.naming.factory.state", "com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl");

I am trying to understand more about this issue and how to resolve it.I've looked into this thread for example:

The meaning of NoInitialContextException error

Yet I couldn't find any JNDI properties file for me to set this configuration. What should I be looking at in this case?

Edit

My library import:

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;

You have set a factory to use for the `InitialContext`, but you also need to provide the jar implementing that factory.. Assuming you are not running your application on the server (glassfish I would guess ? ) – AxelH May 02 '19 at 06:38
@AxelH How do I set the factory? Where do I find the jar? – Daredevil May 02 '19 at 06:38
Already looked into that before, doesn't solve my problem – Daredevil May 02 '19 at 06:41
Perhaps using `setProperty` instead of `put` would solve it – Daredevil May 02 '19 at 06:42
Can you develop exactly what you have. Is it a standalone or running on the server ? What library did you add ? – AxelH May 02 '19 at 06:42
It's just a standalone application. I edit my post to include the library – Daredevil May 02 '19 at 06:44
Already spent some days on this issue,still no luck. – Daredevil May 02 '19 at 06:45
I think what I need to do is find the jar file but I do not know where to get em – Daredevil May 02 '19 at 06:46
By "library", I mean jar file added to your build path. PS: please don't send 3 comments in a row, edit the previous to add information. This is not a chat room. – AxelH May 02 '19 at 06:50
I see. There;s over more than 20, which one should i be looking out for? – Daredevil May 02 '19 at 06:52
Why do you mark it as duplicate as it doesn't solve my problem? – Daredevil May 02 '19 at 08:15
The duplicate have answers about how the library to add and how to do it (with maven). – AxelH May 02 '19 at 09:23
