Can you obtain a DataSource from a stand-alone client?

[shapirod]

Using JBoss 3.0.6:

Can you obtain a DataSource from a stand-alone client? It appears as though my DataSource is bound to java:/OnBoard (see log entry)

13:20:21,659 INFO [OnBoard] Bound connection factory for resource adapter 'JBoss LocalTransaction JDBC Wrapper' to JNDI name 'java:/OnBoard'

but all of my efforts to lookup this DataSource end in failure with:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: OnBoard not bound

We are currently using a Weblogic server and have been able to obtain a DataSource from our standalone clients.

You cannot get a datasource outside of the vm jboss is running in. If you want your client to use a datasource , wrap your client up in an mbean and run it in a stripped down jboss instance.

JBoss does not currently have a client container implementation, which is perhaps what is getting you the ds in weblogic?

IWeblogic 5.1 uses an RMI based DataSource for clients.

I also have this problem but WebLogin does not. With WebLogic the java application can successully lookup DataSource remotely. It is quite inconvenient. But anyway, how I can wrap the lookup the DataSource with MBean? Any hints?

Thanks.
