Cannot connect to the JNDI: No valid JNDI mapping

[chongming]

Greetings,

currently i doing my school project using the jboss-4.0.3SP1, spring and hibernate. My codes are just to save a new user into a database. However when i run my codes in jboss, it hit this error:

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

I tried to find the jboss-web folder but i cant find. Am i on the roght track? This is what i have set up in my application:

This is what i set up in the mssql-ds.xml:

<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>graffitiDB</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/graffiti</connection-url>
<driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>data</user-name>
base

<type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>


</local-tx-datasource>


Inside the web.xml, this is what i put for the <resource-ref>

<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/graffitiDB</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>

My codes can be download from here: http://www.nabble.com/file/p22038655/source.zip

Thanks for the help in advance :)

Please post the entire exception stacktrace. Also do you have a jboss-web.xml? What does it contain? Please post its contents.

While posting logs or xml content or code, please remember to wrap it in a code block by using the Code button in the message editor window. Please use the Preview button to ensure that your post is correctly formatted.

Here is a recent topic that contains working code: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=150529 (see my last post at the end of the topic)

Note that the resource-ref stanza was not required in web.xml.

Hi, thanks for the replies. After adding the jboss-web.xml, i finally solve the error. However i encounter the spring problem.

I will post the new question in the relevant section.

Thanks for the advice. Greatly appreciated. :)
