Why can not find DataSource by running java file in command

[nimrod]

The Jboss 3.2 (with Tomacat 4.1 integrated) server is running and the myDS bound to the DataSource correctly.

I can find the DataSource by the JNDI name myDS in JSP files which also have been deployed to the server in default folder ROOT.war.

But I writed a Java file to access myDS, I complied it to Class file and then I run it in command line, it displayed :

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: myDS not bound......

Here is the code for the Java file:
.
.
.
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");
p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);
ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:/myDS");
.
.
.

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

Datasources are not accessible outside the JBoss app server process.

Hello,

I had the same problems because I used simple object and manage persistance via DAO over JDBC. I'd like to use the Datasource pool in order to use the same Connection as JBoss

As datasources are not accessible outside Jboss, I can develop an EJB whose role is to distribute Connection to my objects.

Is that a good way ?

Yes.
