Please help! Petstore JNDI exception

[madalin]

Hi,

I am trying to use the Petstore 1.1.2 in Jboss 3.0.0 with Tomcat environment. I think is something wrong with the JNDI settings, because when I am trying to read the xml screen definitions and mappings configuration from files, it is failing with a "ScreenFlowXmlDAO error: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: jndi".

The code is:

String requestMappingsURL = null;
try {
requestMappingsURL = getServletContext().getResource("/WEB-INF/xml/requestmappings.xml").toString();
} catch (java.net.MalformedURLException ex) {}

and the value of requestMappingsURL is:

"requestMappingsURL"= "jndi:/localhost/WEB-INF/xml/requestmappings.xml"

Later when I am trying to use this string as URL is throwing the MalformedURLException....

Please help:)
It is simply killing me!!!!

I Know ....It gave me headache too .From what I gathered -for some reasons Jboss is no letting Tomcat load the xml files in WEB-INF(may be). What u have to do is to copy the xml files in WEB-INF\classes than u HAVE to use
URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(" .xml").IN get Resource put just the name of the xml file not the URL ex: getResource("mappings.xml")
Good luck

Thank You. I fixed meantime, I found out that if You are not converting the URL to string and use only URL is working great.
