Cannot locate PostgresDS

[thegiantsquid]

I have sucessfully configured a postgres installation:


<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>PostgresDS</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:postgresql://devsun:5432/test</connection-url>
<driver-class>org.postgresql.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>xxx</user-name>
xxx
</local-tx-datasource>



Yet, the following code:
// cheat a little and pack the JNDI properties
Properties jndiProps = new Properties();
jndiProps.setProperty(
"java.naming.factory.initial",
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
jndiProps.setProperty(
"java.naming.provider.url",
"jnp://localhost:1099");
jndiProps.setProperty(
"java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

Context initial = new InitialContext(jndiProps);

DataSource ds = (DataSource) initial.lookup("java:/PostgresDS");


yields:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: PostgresDS not bound
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:495)
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:503)

I have successfully deployed entity beans using this configuration, yet I cannot lookup a Datasource...


Any ideas?

Also, the startup log yields this:


14:28:49,009 INFO [PostgresDS] Bound connection factory for resource adapter for ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=LocalTxCM,name=PostgresDS to JNDI name 'java:/PostgresDS'

And....

if I yank server\default\jnpserver.jar out of the runtime classpath, i get:

Welp, apparently, I cannot remotely lookup DataSources, as I can only use the "java:/" prefix when I'm in the same VM, which I suppose, means I need to deploy this app as a stateless SessionBean.

Thanks, I guess, to whomever read this.

That's correct, and you're welcome ;-)
