Example: Specify Initial Context Factory for a WebSphere Application Server

Suppose that you want to invoke the reverse method on the CybEJBTestBean stateless session bean. The reverse method has one parameter, with type java.lang.String and value a23. The output from the reverse method is saved to the C:\Makapt15 file. The initial context factory supplied by the JNDI service provider is com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory. The service provider's URL is iiop://172.24.0.0:2809, where 172.24.0.0 is the IP address of the WebSphere application server and 2809 is the ORB port. When the job runs, the output of the reverse method is stored in the output destination file.
