Crystal Reports XI and Sun One 6.1 web server SP 5 Error finding JNDI name

Question

I am trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report in a JSP using Sun One 6.1 Web server sp 5.
At this point I am getting the error �Error finding JNDI name� on Sun One
The application will run on Netbeans/Tomcat
I have done the following:
I edited CRConfig.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CrystalReportEngine-configuration>
�
<DataDriverCommon>
     <JavaDir>C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_10\bin</JavaDir>
<Classpath>C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;�</Classpath>
�
<JDBC>
     <CacheRowSetSize>100</CacheRowSetSize>
     <JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.10.10.10:1521:dev</JDBCURL>
     <JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
     <JDBCUserName>lab_ro</JDBCUserName>
     <JNDIURL></JNDIURL>
�
</JDBC>
I created a report using JDBC (JNDI) connection and have the JNDI Connection set to the name of DATA.
The report works just fine in Crystal Reports.
Then in Netbeans I created an application and it runs in the Tomcat part of Netbeans
In context.xml I have:
<Context path="/BOEnterpriseTest3">
<Resource name="jdbc/dev" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.10.10.10:1521:dev"
username="theuserid" password="thepassword" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1"/>
</Context>
In web.xml I have
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
<param-value>crystalreportviewers11</param-value>
</context-param>
�

I have copied all of Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java\lib and Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java\lib\external to the lib folder
I have copied crystalreportviewers11 to the root of my web application
I have tried to load the JNDI information and display the report

On the Java Tab

JNDI Name=dev10g
Pool = dev10g
I get the error finding JNDI name � how do I tell Sun One where the JNDI is to make Crystal Reports work?

Answer 1

I tried the following to test the JNDI
I am trying to do JNDI in Sun One Web server 6.1 sp 5 but I seem to be missing an important part. I get two different errors based on the JSP code, �Cannot retrieve data source: javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance� or �Cannot retrieve data source: javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance�.
