JNDI in ejb3

Dear all,

How to do a jndi to lookup a datasource in ejb3 ?
I want to lookup the datasource, grap the connection, and do something rather than using the EntityManager.
I try
lookup("java:/mysqlDS");
lookup("java:comp/env/mysqlDS");

it always gave me
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: "something" not bound

I have a persistence.xml file in the ejb jar file, mysql-ds.xml file in the \server\default\deploy.

What i can do to make this thing work ? thanks.

While this isn't a solution it might help. I'm dealing with some of the same issues. I just found out a simple way to view JBoss' JNDI tree:
* Go to http://localhost:8080/jmx-console
* Search for service=JNDIView
* Click on that link
* On the page that comes up click on the Invoke button beside the list() method

Could you post your mysql-ds.xml and persistence.xml files?
