    jndi datasource publishing

      Hi, I'm new to Seam. I have a current interest to integrate Spring and Seam's data access strategy. However, I am unable to lookup the data source from JNDI using embedded ejb3 + SEAM configuration. I am using the "jpa" example from SEAM 1.1.0GA.

      My log reports:

      12:40:46,196 [main] INFO DataSourceFactory:43 - starting Datasource at JNDI name: java:/DefaultDS
      12:40:46,216 [main] INFO LocalTxDataSource:102 - Bound datasource to JNDI name 'java:/DefaultDS'
      


      However in my application, the only keys in the initial context are those listed in the jndi.properties, namely java.naming.factory.initial and java.naming.factory.url.pkgs.
      #jndi.properties
      java.naming.factory.initial org.jnp.interfaces.LocalOnlyContextFactory
      java.naming.factory.url.pkgs org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
      


      I have crawled through the Seam's source and there is only one place that initializes the jndi properties--Initialization.java, that's after reading in jndi.properties which makes sense.

      So now I'm looking at org.jboss.seam.microcontainer.DataSourceFactory:
       // ds is of type LocalTxDataSource
       ds.setJndiName(jndiName);
       ds.setInitialContextProperties(Naming.getInitialContextProperties());
      


      What does the code above do? I mean Seam is able to find the datasouce in my specified jndiName=java:/DefaultDS. However, in my application and in Spring, it could not find "DefaultDS" in the initial context.

      Is it possible to bind the data source created by the microcontainer to JNDI in Seam? Thanks.
