Illegal context in name: java:app/jdbc/ActionBazaarDS

[kiranmohan]

The deployment of an EAR with the below contents:

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

META-INF/application.xml

META-INF/glassfish-resources.xml

META-INF/wildfly-ds.xml

actionbazaar-chapter3-client.jar

actionbazaar-chapter3-ejb.jar

actionbazaar-chapter3-web.war

fails with the exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: WFLYNAM0030: Illegal context in name: java:app/jdbc/ActionBazaarDS"

The file META-INF/wildfly-ds.xml configures a datasource for the application with the problematic JNDI name.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<datasources xmlns="http://www.jboss.org/ironjacamar/schema"

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:schemaLocation="

        http://www.jboss.org/ironjacamar/schema

        http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/schema/datasources_1_1.xsd">

    <datasource enabled="true"

        jndi-name="java:app/jdbc/ActionBazaarDS"

        pool-name="Chapter3EmbeddedH2Pool">

        <connection-url>jdbc:h2:mem:chapter3 ;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1</connection-url>

        <driver>h2</driver>

    </datasource>

</datasources>

The same JNDI name works with GlassFIsh 4.1. But I am not sure what is incorrect here.

Please explain what is wrong here.

For the Deployable DataSources (*-ds.xml) You can try other names like :

java:global/jdbc/ActionBazaarDS

java:jboss/jdbc/ActionBazaarDS

java:/something/ActionBazaarDS

In Wildfly the DataSource or non EJB components the JNDI name can be described as mentioned in the following code:

https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/master/naming/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/naming/deployment/ContextNames.java

    public static BindInfo bindInfoFor(final String jndiName) {
        // TODO: handle non java: schemes
        String bindName;
        if (jndiName.startsWith("java:")) {
            bindName = jndiName.substring(5);
        } else if (!jndiName.startsWith("jboss") && !jndiName.startsWith("global") && !jndiName.startsWith("/")) {
            bindName = "/" + jndiName;
        } else {
            bindName = jndiName;
        }
        final ServiceName parentContextName;
        if(bindName.startsWith("jboss/exported/")) {
            parentContextName = EXPORTED_CONTEXT_SERVICE_NAME;
            bindName = bindName.substring(15);
        } else if (bindName.startsWith("jboss/")) {
            parentContextName = JBOSS_CONTEXT_SERVICE_NAME;
            bindName = bindName.substring(6);
        } else if (bindName.startsWith("global/")) {
            parentContextName = GLOBAL_CONTEXT_SERVICE_NAME;
            bindName = bindName.substring(7);
        } else if (bindName.startsWith("/")) {
            parentContextName = JAVA_CONTEXT_SERVICE_NAME;
            bindName = bindName.substring(1);
        } else {
            throw NamingLogger.ROOT_LOGGER.illegalContextInName(jndiName);
        }
        return new BindInfo(parentContextName, bindName);
    }
