Quick JNDI Query

[jazzatola]

I've configured a new MySQL datasource under JBoss 3.0 and tested it and everything seems to be working fine.

However, I used the JNDI name MySqlDS and noticed that the datasource was subsequently bound to java:/MySqlDS.

Does this mean that I should use the JNDIname comp/env/jdbc/MySqlDS if I want to access the datasource under the standard JNDI environment naming context: java:comp/env/jdbc/MySqlDS ?

Thanks in advance....

Well, actually I can confirm that it doesn't work. It seems as if the datasource is always bound beneath java:/.

How do you access the java:comp/ namespace? I see it listed in the JNDIView xml output but the datasource is always bound to a sibling context.

Any ideas?

You get the java:comp/ namespace automagically when you create a reference to the DataSource inside the deployment descriptor of the EJB or WAR you are accessing the DataSource from.
