Can't get Datasource outside container (4.2)

[viniciuscarvalho]

Hello there! This is a very dumb question, I know. But it's friday, past 6pm, and its annoying me a lot.

I'm running some junit tests, and I'm not being able to get the datasource from the jndi. It's deployed. My SLSBs do have access on them (through entity manager) but on the unit test it says its not bound. What's odd, is that if I look for anything else (ConnectionFactory, Queue, Topic, Remote interfaces) it locates, but no datasource at all. Here's a snippet:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
 Queue q = (Queue)ctx.lookup("java:/queue/A"); //found
 ConnectionFactory qf = (ConnectionFactory)ctx.lookup("java:/ConnectionFactory");//found
 SomeEJB ejb = (SomeEJB)ctx.lookup("SomeEJB/remote");//found
 DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:mysqlDS");//not bound

I've double checked the jndi name on the jmx-console and it's bound to java:mysqlDS.

Any ideas of why I just can't find the datasource object?

Regards

Look for

<use-java-context> - A boolean indicating if the jndi-name should be prefixed with java: which causes the DataSource to only be accessible from within the jboss server vm. The default is true.

Vini,
How did you fix that issue?. I am having the same issue now.
