javax.naming.NameNotFoundException

[minusone]

Yes, before you flame me, I did look at the multitude of posts that covered this... but I haven't come across one in my searching that provided a solution to the problem I am having.

I have a JNDI name: jdbc/phpa/Users
I know its there, because when I go into the handy-dandy jmx_console, and then do a JNDIView, I see this:

+- jdbc (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- phpa (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- Users (class: org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.local.LocalDataSource)

why on earth would I get this exception:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jdbc not bound

Basically, I have a stateless session bean, and in the ejbCreate() method, I do a:

javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ic.lookup("jdbc/phpa/Users");

Any help, or whatever sure would be appreciated

Thanks!

I used like this. It works

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
javax.sql.DataSource dataSource = (javax.sql.DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:/jdbc/XXX");

Try putting java:/ in front of the JNDI name

I solved the problem looking in JNDI with

InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/myDB");

Also you have to define correctly in the jboss.xml the resource ref

<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/myDB</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>java:/myDB</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>

java:/myDB is the name defined when creating the datasource.
