Hi!

I am a new user of JBoss (3.0.4) and have some problems with a Postgresql datasource.

The datasource is created and bound to java:/jdbc/PostgresDS and is visible in the JNDIViewer in jmx-console.

In my war-file i have created the jboss-web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory containing the following text:

<jboss-web>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/PostgresDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<jndi-name>java:/jdbc/PostgresDS</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
</jboss-web>

and the web.xml file contains the following section:

<resource-ref>
Datasource for Postgresql
<res-ref-name>jdbc/PostgresDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>CONTAINER</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

Now to my problem.

When I try to call my datasource using:

Context compEnv = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/PostgresDS");

I got a "jdbc not bound - NameNotFoundException"

But when I am using the jndi name "java:/jdbc/PostgresDS" instead it works fine.

Why does it not work with the local jndi name, have I missed something in my configuration?

Thanks!
