Environment Variable not found

[fred_soulier]

Hi

Using JBoss3.0.0_Tomcat4.0.3. Application (ear) contains a web component and EJBs and deploys fine.
The web component defines an environment entry like this:

web.xml
-------
<env-entry>
Web DAO
<env-entry-name>dao/WebDAO</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>com.xxxxx.yyyyy.web.dao.WebDAOImplementation</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>

During deployement I can see in the server logs:

15:36:06,616 DEBUG [EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] Binding env-entry: java:/comp/env/dao/WebDAO of type: java.lang.String to value: com.xxxxx.yyyyy.web.dao.WebDAOImplementation

When the servlet tries to retrieve this env entry from the initial context:

InitialContext jndiName = new InitialContext();
String className = (String)jndiName.lookup("dao/WebDAO");

it throws a ServletException:
error (Environment Variable dao/WebDAO not found - error (dao not bound))

Why? JBoss and Tomcat are supposed to run in the same VM.

Also http://localhost:8082/ does not show this binding in JNDI NAme view (list)

You need to look up the variable as

java:/comp/env/dao/WebDAO

Yep seems to be better... and so so obvious :)
Thanks
