Doc Text:	In previous versions of EAP 6, instantiation of an InitialContext might fail with the following message: ---- javax.naming.NamingException: JBAS011843: Failed instantiate InitialContextFactory com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory from classloader ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.externalContextBindingTest.jar:main" from Service Module Loader ---- From this message, however, the underlying cause was not visible, making troubleshooting impossible. To resolve this issue, the underlying cause has now been exposed. If this issue now occurs, the error message now reveals the root cause: ---- javax.naming.NamingException: JBAS011843: Failed instantiate InitialContextFactory com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory from classloader ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.externalContextBindingTest.jar:main" from Service Module Loader [Root exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: 127.0.0.1:10389 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused]] ----

Description Carlo de Wolf 2014-02-05 03:14:50 EST

Instantiation an InitialContext might fail with just the follow cause:
javax.naming.NamingException: JBAS011843: Failed instantiate InitialContextFactory com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory from classloader ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.externalContextBindingTest.jar:main" from Service Module Loader

The underlying cause is no longer available.
