NameNotFoundException 'employeePerks' not bound

[jnl1]

hi all...

i'm porting an application that works fine in Tomcat 6.6 to JBoss 4.2.3.GA. Using jdk 1.6.

Here's my context.xml:

<Context path="/employeePerks"
 debug="0"
 reloadable="true">

 <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" debug="99"
 connectionURL="xxx"
 alternateURL="xxx"
 roleBase="xxx"
 roleSubtree="false"
 roleName="xxx"
 roleSearch="uniqueMember={0}"
 userBase="xxx"
 userSubtree="true"
 userSearch="uid={0}" />

 <Resource
 name="jdbc/employeePerks"
 auth="Container"
 type="javax.sql.DataSource"
 maxActive="100"
 maxIdle="30"
 maxWait="10000"
 username="xxxx"
 password="xxxx"
 defaultAutoCommit="false"
 removeAbandoned="true"
 removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
 logAbandoned="true"
 validationQuery="xxxx"
 driverClassName="xxxx"
 url="xxxx"/>


</Context>

My web.xml:

<resource-ref>
 <description>DB Connection</description>
 <res-ref-name>jdbc/employeePerks</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>

My datasource fiile:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<datasources>
 <local-tx-datasource>
 <jndi-name>employeePerks</jndi-name>
 <connection-url>xxxx</connection-url>
 <driver-class>xxxx</driver-class>
 <user-name>xxxx</user-name>
 <password>xxxx</password>
 <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>
 </local-tx-datasource>

</datasources>

My jboss-web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<jboss-web>
 <security-domain>/employeePerks</security-domain>
 <resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>jdbc/employeePerks</res-ref-name>
 <jndi-name>java:/employeePerks</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>

</jboss-web>

The application deploys fine, but when trying to login, I get this error:

What's your datasource file named and where is it placed? In JBoss, you don't have to change/add the context.xml for configuring datasources. Datasources in JBoss are configured through *-ds.xml files placed in the deploy folder of JBoss. See these wiki:

http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9498

http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9328

thanks for the suggestion. my datasource file is in my $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy dir and is called employeePerks-oracle-ds.xml. not sure what you are referring to about the context.xml? the war works fine in tomcat 6.0.

to port over to jboss, all i did was add the jboss-web.xml file which looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<jboss-web>
 <security-domain>/employeePerks</security-domain>
 <resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>jdbc/employeePerks</res-ref-name>
 <jndi-name>java:/employeePerks</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>

</jboss-web>

not sure where the problem could be?...thanks

i'm not sure if this matters but my datasource.xml (for spring) is defined as follows:

<beans>
 <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
 <property name="jndiName">
 <value>java:comp/env/jdbc/employeePerks</value>
 </property>
 </bean>
</beans>

thanks
