Tibco error: ClassNotFoundException: com.tibco.tibjms.naming.TibjmsInitialContextFactory

Question

I am facing this issue. I tested tibco with below configuration(local tibco) and it works

<jee:jndi-lookup id="connectionFactory" jndi-name="emsConnectionFactory">
    <jee:environment>
        java.naming.factory.initial=com.tibco.tibjms.naming.TibjmsInitialContextFactory
        java.naming.provider.url=tibjmsnaming://localhost:7222
    </jee:environment>
</jee:jndi-lookup>

<jee:jndi-lookup id="queue" jndi-name="emsQueue">
    <jee:environment>
        java.naming.factory.initial=com.tibco.tibjms.naming.TibjmsInitialContextFactory
        java.naming.provider.url=tibjmsnaming://localhost:7222
    </jee:environment>

But when i try to connect to the central tibco(only the provider changed) with below configuration i get classNotFound error

  <jee:jndi-lookup id="connectionFactory" jndi-name="XAQueueConnectionFactory"> 
    <jee:environment>
        java.naming.factory.initial=com.tibco.tibjms.naming.TibjmsInitialContextFactory 
        java.naming.provider.url=tcp://xsdd.xxxxxxxxx.local:8333
    </jee:environment> 
</jee:jndi-lookup> 
<jee:jndi-lookup id="queue" jndi-name="ibalance/iBatch/ReBalances">
    <jee:environment> 
        java.naming.factory.initial=com.tibco.tibjms.naming.TibjmsInitialContextFactory
        java.naming.provider.url=tcp://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.local:8333
    </jee:environment>
</jee:jndi-lookup>

The error i am getting is

 Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.tibco.tibjms.naming.TibjmsInitialContextFactory

Any suggestion would be of great help.

Solution

This is clearly a classpath error. Are you running both on your local machine?

If the second one is being run on a server somewhere, ensure the EMS jar libraries are referenced in the classpath. I believe the one you're after is tibjms.jar.

How you reference the jar file is dependent on your environment and technologies.
