Hi all

i am using jboss portal 2.6.8 server with oracle 10g..

i am getting follwing  exception when creating datasource object for Oracle 10g using JNDI.

Can not get JNDI connection from Data sourceSQLState: null Vendor Code:  0 Could not create connection; - nested throwable:  (java.lang.NullPointerException); - nested throwable:  (org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Could not create connection; -  nested throwable: (java.lang.NullPointerException))

step-1: portal-oracle-ds.xml

<datasources>
  <local-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>jndiname</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:orcl</connection-url>
    <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
    <user-name>user</user-name>
    <password>password</password>
  </local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>

I copied this xml file in to deploy folder of jboss.

step: 2 classes12.jar copied in my war file lib only

step-3: in my java code ...

                line-1:  InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();              
              
                line-2: DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:/jndiname");      
             
                line-3: java.sql.Connection dbconnection = dataSource.getConnection(); 

when ever i am  executing line-3, getting above exception...
