Hi!

this is how I initialize my context:

put( InitialContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, Configuration.JNDI.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY );
put( InitialContext.PROVIDER_URL, Configuration.JNDI.PROVIDER_URL );
put( "hibernate.session_factory_name", "java:comp/env/hibernate/SessionFactory" );


But on lookup is thrown an naming exception:

SessionFactory sf = (SessionFactory)context.lookup( "java:comp/env/hibernate/SessionFactory" );

What am I doing wrong?

What kind of server are you using?
What is the trace of your exception?
