Hi,

I have two failed JBM examples (http, servlet) with following jndi properties with which they'are failing to create InitialContext:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=http://localhost:8080/invoker/JNDIFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

Exception:

[java] javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to retrieve Naming interface for provider http://localhost:8080/invoker/JNDIFactory [Root exception is java.net.ProtocolException: Server redirected too many times (20)]

I don't have time to investigate it deeper but for sure it's a regression against EAP 5.1.1. Could you have a look at it please or reassign it to the right guy?

Thank you,
