Exception: javax.naming.NoInitialContextException
If you try to use Camel without Spring using code something like this:
CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();
context.addRoutes(new MyRouteBuilder());
context.start();
You might get an exception like this:
[java] Caused by: javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial [java] at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:645) [java] at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:247) [java] at javax.naming.InitialContext.getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(InitialContext.java:284) [java] at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351) [java] at org.apache.camel.impl.JndiRegistry.lookup(JndiRegistry.java:51)
A simple workaround for this is to specify a JNDI provider. An easy fix
is to create a file called jndi.properties
on the classpath and give
it this content…
java.naming.factory.initial = org.apache.camel.util.jndi.CamelInitialContextFactory
