    unable to lookup data source from session bean

    jauri

      Hi,

      I'm having some problem trying to lookup data source from my stateless session EJB. Here is the scenario:

      I wrote a class (i.e. called DSRegisterJNDI) that set up data source reference through JNDI, this class is a stand alone java class outside jboss.
      I started jboss and then I execute DSRegisterJNDI to register the data source through JNDI. This is the way that I bind the data source:

      =========================================================
      // Set up environment for creating initial context
      Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
      env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
      "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
      env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");
      env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,
      "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
      Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
      // Register the data source to JNDI
      // for application to use
      ctx.bind("testtrk", ds);
      =========================================================

      Then I also wrote a test client that will try to do lookup the data source and do some SQL query. This test client is also a stand alone class, not part of jboss. Here is the way I do the lookup:

      =========================================================
      // Set up environment for creating InitialContext object
      env = new Hashtable();
      env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
      "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
      env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");

      try {
      // Retrieve the DataSource object that bound to the
      // logical lookup JNDI name
      ctx = new InitialContext(env);
      ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("testtrk");
      }
      ... do some SQL query ...
      ========================================================

      The test client works fine, I got some result back from the data base.However, when I try to do the same lookup from my EJB(stateless session bean), it couldn't find the data source. It was giving me a NameNotFoundException. I assumed the EJB will be able to lookup the data source just like the test client does, but it fails.
      Did I do something wrong here? Or am I misunderstanding the EJB or JNDI concept? Please help, thank you.
