JndiTemplate.bind() Exception in Weblogic

[difranr]

I have the following code to export some of my services into JNDI:

public class RTMJndiBinder {
	private final JndiTemplate jndiTemplate = new JndiTemplate();

	private Map<String, Object> jndiObjects;
	public void setJndiObjects(Map<String, Object> jndiObjects) {
		this.jndiObjects = jndiObjects;
	}

	@PostConstruct
	public void init() throws Exception {
		for (Map.Entry<String, Object> toBind : jndiObjects.entrySet()) {
			jndiTemplate.bind(toBind.getKey(), toBind.getValue());
		}
	}

	@PreDestroy
	public void destroy() throws Exception {
		for (String jndiName : jndiObjects.keySet()) {
			if (jndiName != null && jndiTemplate.lookup(jndiName) != null) {
				jndiTemplate.unbind(jndiName);
			}
		}
	}
}

When I deploy this as a WAR within Weblogic, I get the following exception:

Any thoughts?

I was able to get it to bind to flat names like:

cacheManager

But compound names like:

rtm/cacheManager

fail.

I answered my own question, you have to explicitly create the subcontext. This can be done by doing the following:

// Create the subcontext
			jndiTemplate.execute(new JndiCallback() {
				public Object doInContext(Context ctx) throws NamingException {
					ctx.createSubcontext("rtm");
					return null;
				}
			});
