Issue

• I'm trying to do do a JNDI lookup using the jbossall-client.jar in my client application in JBoss EAP 6. The the configuration is shown below and I'm getting a NullPointerException when trying to setup the initial context, what is causing this?

        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory");
        properties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
        properties.put("jnp.socket.Factory", "org.jnp.interfaces.TimedSocketFactory");
        properties.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://remotehost:1099");
        MyBean bean = new InitialContext(properties).lookup("example");

The exception I'm getting is:
