RuntimeException: UT factory lookup failed in remote JBoss EAP 4 / 5 client

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I'm looking up the UserTransaction from a standalone remote client using the code below, but it is failing with the RuntimeException: UT factory lookup failed shown below:
      Properties properties = new Properties();
      properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
      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://"+ host +":1100");

      Context ctx = new InitialContext(properties);
      UserTransaction tx = (UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("UserTransaction");
      tx.begin();
