Not Bound: Strange JNDI Data Source Error

[rharris1]

I am getting a "javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: SapdbDS not bound" for a data source that according to both the jmx-console and the server log is bound to java:/SapdbDS.

The sapdb-ds.xml looks like:



<local-tx-datasource>

<jndi-name>SapdbDS</jndi-name>

<connection-url>jdbc:sapdb://london/CWM</connection-url>

<driver-class>com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.DriverSapDB</driver-class>

<user-name>CWM</user-name>

CWM

</local-tx-datasource>







-----------------------------------------------------------

The client context is obtained via:

private static Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");
env.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

return new InitialContext(env);
}


------------------------------------------------------------

I am looking up the data source via:

DataSource datasource = (DataSource)context.lookup("java:/SapdbDS");


--------------------------------------------------------------

I do this from the client - and I get the error described at the begining of the post. From various other posts I have stumbled upon I was under the impression that this should work. I am most obviously missing something. Any ideas?




Thanks

Hi Ray,

it is not possible to lookup a datasource from a different VM. Everything in the "java:" namespace in JNDI is local to the VM.

Thanks Harald - I remember reading that somewhere along the line but my memory seems to get worse on a daily basis....
