| = Exception: `javax.naming.NoInitialContextException` |
| |
| If you try to use Camel without xref:ROOT:spring.adoc[Spring] using code |
| something like this: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| 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) |

| ---- |
| |
| This is because if you are not using Spring then the default |
| xref:ROOT:registry.adoc[Registry] implementation uses xref:ROOT:jndi.adoc[JNDI]. |
| |
| 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 |
