javax.naming.NoInitialContextException using "generate tables from entities" [message #511299]

Hello,
Presently I have a working persistence.xml file - I can deploy my project and it runs correctly, storing entities in the database using container managed transactions. Unfortunately when I run "generate tables from entities" I get the exception listed below. Changing transaction-type to resource_local to bypass the app server works fine, but container managed doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

MJ,

This is a question you're going to need to post to the EclipseLink forum. ( http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=thread&frm_id= 111&)

Dali is the tooling which enables DDL generation, but we delegate to the implementation to do the actual generation, which is where you're hitting the problem.
