receiving an exception getting the initial context - why?

Hi all,

env Oracle 8i 8.1.5, NT, JDK 1.1.7

I make a simple EJB (similar to the helloworld) and I successfully deployed them using this DD:

SessionBean acmeServer.SimpleBean
{
 BeanHomeName="test/mySimple
 HomeInterfaceClassName=acme.SimpleHome;  RemoteInterfaceClassName=acme.Simple;
 EnvironmentProperties {
  ejb.name=acme.Simple;
 }

 RunAsMode=CLIENT_IDENTITY;
 TransactionAttribute=TX_REQUIRED;
 AllowedIdentities={PUBLIC};
}

as you can see from the output of the sess_sh:

D:\>sess_sh -u scott -p tiger -s sess_iiop://localhost:2481:alberto --Aurora/ORB Session Shell--
--type "help" at the command line for help message
$ ls

bin/ etc/ test/
$ cd test
$ ls

myHello mySimple simple
$

But if I run the client an exception is thrown getting the initial context. I used the same client of the helloworld example:

...
29: SimpleHome simple_home = (SimpleHome)ic.lookup (serviceURL + objectName);
30: Simple simple = simple_home.create(); 31: System.out.println (simple.helloWorld());

and I run it with the following:

D:\>java Client sess_iiop://localhost:2481:alberto /test/mySimple scott tiger
[Root exception is

        at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:288)
        at Client.main(Client.java:29)

The exception (as you can see from the src above) is thrown when I get an InitialContext.
Why?
Please notice the hello world example works fine, why my example does not work?
