javax.naming.NameNotFoundException when deploying WebAppp with JBoss/Spring and NetBeans

Question

I'm new to both NetBeans and JBoss (been using Eclipse and Tomcat for years now) and I'm having problems deploying our new proyect. It seems that JBoss can't find the data source xml configuration file. I have copied that file (buzon-adaptiv-ds.xml) into Other Sources/setup folder inside my proyect in NetBeans and in the conf folders in JBoss Home folder.

Every time I try to Run the proyect I get a deployment fail error, what I can see from the stack trace is that Spring/JBoss can't find the configuration for the Data Source:

BuzonAdaptivCoreDS is one of three data sources set with jndi-name inside the data source configuration file. The configuration (database url, user, pass, etc) is correctly set.

I'd apreciate any clues on why this could be happening, I realise this might be a dumb question but I'm still not sure how the JBoss-Spring-Hibernate intregration should work.

Thanks in advance.

You need to place your datasource xml file in the jboss/server/xxx/deploy folder. The same place you put your war files.
