unpacked WAR access to datasource - not found

[fbadt]

jboss 4.04

Installed XWiki as an inpacked WAR in the server/deploy directory.

The web.xml has the following entry:
<resource-ref>
DB Connection
<res-ref-name>java:jdbc/XWikiDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

What needs to be in what config file for the datasource to be found? I would prefer to use a WAR related config for this; however have tried the jboss-ds.xml and also failed to have the JNDI name found.

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error during deploy; - nested throwable: (javax.naming.NamingException: resource-ref: java:jdbc/XWikiDS has no valid JNDI binding. Check the jboss-web/resource-ref.)

resource-ref is not in the filesystem

What is in your jboss-ds.xml file? You should have something like this:

<datasources>
 <local-tx-datasource>
 <jndi-name>jdbc/XWikiDS</jndi-name>
 . . .
 </local-tx-datasource>
</datasource>

You might also have to add a WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml file to the xwiki war file:

<jboss-web>
 <resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>jdbc/XWikiDS</res-ref-name>
 <jndi-name>java:jdbc/XWikiDS</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>
</jboss-web>

I got the same error, and after commenting the <resource-ref> out in the web.xml file I got another error. I didn't copy the error but it referenced the Log4j.jar file. I moved the [jboss-server-dir]\xwiki.war\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-1.2.13.jar file into another directory. There are probably other jar files that can be moved (deleted) so the jar files that ship with jboss are used.

After I got rid of the Log4j parse error I added in the jboss-web.xml file as PeterJ suggested with the modification "<jndi-name>java:/XWikiDS</jndi-name>" -- I removed the "jndi" after the colon.

After that it ran -- with other errors, but I managed to log in using "admin" and "admin" then importing the .xar example file. It's running -- for now. I'll be checking it out more later.
