NullPointerException in InitialContext

Question

NullPointerException in InitialContext

private void connect() {
 try {
    InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
    IServerBean serverBean = (IServerBean)ctx.
       lookup("java:global/applicationserver/ServerBean!
       com.test.applicationserver.IServerBean");
 } catch (NamingException  e) {
    logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
   }
}

I got this exception when try to execute client application through console java -cp cleint-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.test.client.EJBClient:

This application connecting to remote EJB module. But when I try to execute it in Eclipse, all's gone fine. My configuration:

• Java SE 1.7
• GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.2.2 (build 5)
• Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Juno Service Release 1 Build id: 20121004-1855

I solved this problem with this solution:

Adding this libraries to folder with application:

• glassfish-embedded-all-3.1.1.jar hk2-core-1.6.9.jar
• internal-api-3.1.2.2.jar
• common-util-3.1.2.2.jar
• glassfish-corba-internal-api-3.2.0-b005.jar
• glassfish-naming-3.1.2.2.jar

And when running application, add this libraries to classpath:

java -cp glassfish-embedded.jar;hk2-core.jar;internal-api.jar;common-util.jar;glassfish-corba-internal-api.jar;glassfish-naming.jar;cleintconsole-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.test.client.EJBClient
