I guess I start with the problem:

I get the following error when I run my Test.class:

F:\dev\test>javac -classpath %CLASSPATH%;I:\jars\jnpserver.jar;. Test.java

F:\dev\test>java -classpath %CLASSPATH%;I:\jars\jnpserver.jar;. Test
Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: SQLServer not bound

F:\dev\test>


Here is my Test.java code:

import javax.sql.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.*;
import com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver;

class Test {

public static void main(String[] args)
throws NamingException, SQLException
{

Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();

ht.put("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext
ht.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interf
ht.put("java.naming.provider.url","localhost:1099");

Context ctx = new InitialContext(ht);

DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("SQLServer");

//Connection con = ds.getConnection("sa", "sa");
//con.close();
}
}

Things I know:

When I start up tomcat/jboss all goes well:

<snip_it>
[JaasSecurityManagerService] Initialized
[JdbcProvider] Initializing
[JdbcProvider] Loaded JDBC-driver:org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
[JdbcProvider] Loaded JDBC-driver:com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
[JdbcProvider] Initialized
[HypersonicDatabase] Initializing
</snip_it>

then ...

</snip_it>
[NamingService] InitialContext Environment:
[NamingService] key=java.naming.factory.initial, value=org.jnp.interfaces.Naming
ContextFactory
[NamingService] key=java.naming.factory.url.pkgs, value=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp
.interfaces:org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
[NamingService] Naming started on port 1099
[NamingService] Started
[JNDIView] Starting
[JNDIView] Started
</snip_it>

then later ....

<snit_it>
[XADataSourceLoader] Starting
[DefaultDS] XA Connection pool DefaultDS bound to java:/DefaultDS
[XADataSourceLoader] Started
[XADataSourceLoader] Starting
[SQLServer] XA Connection pool SQLServer bound to java:/SQLServer
[XADataSourceLoader] Started
[ServerDataCollector] Starting
</snit_it>

also on the jboss admin page I see:

service=XADataSource,name=SQLServer

and in mbean veiw:

MBean Name: DefaultDomain:service=XADataSource,name=SQLServer
MBean Java Class: org.jboss.jdbc.XADataSourceLoader

So I don't know I can't see this datasource.

also everything written and compiled in jdk 1.3.1

Please advise! Thanks!
