Tests failing to retrieve Naming interface for provider due to failure in lookup of InitialContext using org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory in EWP Testsuite

There are many tests in EWP testsuite failing with similar stacktrace due to failure in lookup of InitialContext using org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory.

I have tried to run these tests against node0=localhost ,node0=$MYTESTIP_1(valid ip address ) as well as without passing node0 and they are failing consistently.

I found https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-6072 and i am wondering if this is related...Are these tests not commented in EWP and they are expected to fail?

Hudson job:

https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/EWP5/view/TestSuite/job/ewp-5.2-rhel6-OracleJDk6/2/

Failing tests:
org.jboss.test.cluster.multicfg.test.HAJndiTestCase(all testcases in both tcp and udp mode)

org.jboss.test.naming.test.SecurityUnitTestCase
org.jboss.test.naming.test.SimpleUnitTestCase
org.jboss.test.security.test.LoginModulesUnitTestCase
org.jboss.test.security.test.XMLLoginModulesUnitTestCase
