Java Application Running in PASE env on Ibmi - Initial Context Error

Question

I have a basic java application that looks up a data source.
I am new to this, especially when it is running on the IBMi. ANy thoughts of what/where to look? I know this is a vague question. Where would someone "put" the class name the error is mentioning? I have looked for the declaration of the jndi name on the area of the ibmi that i have access to, but cannot find it....

{
       InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
        ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/configdb");
} 

It imediately throws this error:

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

jndi.properties:

# jndi.properties: Defines JNDI properties for standalone Java
java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=file:/Applications/dev/jndi

and the dev/jndi/.bindings directory has a whole bunch of stuff in it like this:

configdb/RefAddr/35/Type=secondary URL                                    
configdb/ClassName=com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCManagedDataSource

Try specifying the context factory in your code like this:

Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, 
    "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");

Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
