getting datasource jndi?

[ramujava]

i have written jdbc connection in oracle-ds.xml file how can i get DataSource connection using JNDI in a stateless session bean class with out using xml file/entity/JPA?

You will first have to lookup the datasource using the JNDI API. Then you can call the getConnection API on the DataSource. Just an example:

DataSource ds = (DataSource) new InitialContext().lookup("java:myDS");
ds.getConnection();

i wrote the database connection in oracle-ds.xml file and placed in deploy folder and DataSource ds = (DataSource) new InitialContext().lookup("java:myDS");
ds.getConnection();

but i didn't get the connection what should i do?

Post your oracle-ds.xml and your code. What server are you using ? Because you may have to set some properties before context initialization. Also post your JNDIView (from the JMX Console) if you are using JBoss AS.
