javax.naming.NameNotFoundException in eclipse while using JNDI to connect to datasource created in JBOSS 7

Question

I am new to J2EE. I am trying to connect to datasource created in jboss AS 7 using JNDI.

I am using Jboss AS 7 Standalone server to deploy my project NewDB.war . I have created fallowing data source java:jboss/datasources/oracleDS (which is my JNDI name) in Jboss AS 7 and successfully connected to Oracle database.

I am using oracle database to store my sql tables.

I am getting fallowing error message in eclipse. but i got success message in command propmpt. I created Dynamic web project in eclipse for performing all these tasks.I am not sure which type of project to create for my task. Correct me if i am wrong.

It will be great help if anyone helps getting out of this error.

Answer 1

• Your context.xml file will be ignored as that is a Tomcat configuration file and you're running JBoss AS;
• Your web.xml is badly formed and I'm surprised it does not result in a deployment error - at the very least it is likely ignored;
• I believe that your code works from the command line because the deployment order changes subtly. When you run from Eclipse your webapp is being initialised before your datasource, probably because of explicit deployment instructions from Eclipse.

Normally, JBoss AS can work out the correct deployment order by analysing annotations or deployment descriptors. However you don't have either in a useable form.

As this is a JavaEE 6 compliant server, you should not need explicit JNDI lookups. Try the following instead:

package p1;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.sql.DataSource;

/**
 * Servlet implementation class TestServlet
 */
@WebServlet("/TestServlet")
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Resource(lookup="java:jboss/datasources/oracleDS")
    private DataSource ds;

    /**
     * @see HttpServlet#HttpServlet()
     */
    public TestServlet() {
        super();
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    public void init() throws ServletException {
        super.init();
        System.out.println("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$");
        System.out.println("Success getting DS : " + ds.getClass());

    }

    /**
     * @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
     *      response)
     */
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    /**
     * @see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse

    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,

}
