"Errored while looking up datasource: PWC4216: Name myDB is not bound in th

Question

hi all,
am trying to deploy my web application (.war which has a servlet which connects to a db and fetches records and displays in jsp) file in SunOne web server V7 but i cant get past this error :
[29/Jun/2010:15:14:46] failure (24218): for host 146.171.59.144 trying to POST /BbaMigrationQueryTool/BBAMigrationQuery, service-j2ee reports: NamingExcep
tion caught: Errored while looking up datasource: PWC4216: Name myDB is not bound in this Context
my java code to lookup the jndi name :
   1.     //looks up a datasource 
   2.     private static synchronized DataSource getDataSource(String jndiName) throws NamingException { 
   3.  
   4.         DataSource dataSource = null; 
   5.  
   6.         try { 
   7.             Context c = new InitialContext(); 
   8.              Context envContext = (Context) c.lookup("java:comp/env"); 
   9.             Logger.getLogger(DBUtilities.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, "Found sub context"); 
  10.               dataSource = (DataSource) envContext.lookup(jndiName); 
  11.  
  12.         } catch (NamingException e) { 
  13.             e.printStackTrace(); 
  14.             throw new NamingException("Errored while looking up datasource: " + e.getMessage()); 
  15.         } 
  16.  
  17.         return dataSource; 
  18.     } 
  i call the above method with "jdbc/myDB" and have created a JDBC recourse within the SunOne web server via the admin console.
my web.xml i have an entry for the resource as follows :
   1.             <resource-ref> 
   2.         <res-ref-name>jdbc/myDB</res-ref-name> 
   3.         <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> 
   4.         <res-auth>Container</res-auth> 
   5.         <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope> 
   6.     </resource-ref> 
in my sun-web.xml i have an entry as follows :
   1.     <resource-ref> 
   2.         <res-ref-name>jdbc/myDB</res-ref-name> 
   3.         <jndi-name>jdbc/myDB</jndi-name> 
   4.     </resource-ref> 
server.xml has this entry in it :
   1.   <jdbc-resource> 
   2.     <jndi-name>jdbc/myDB</jndi-name> 
   3.     <datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource</datasource-class> 
   4.     <property> 
   5.       <name>password</name> 
   6.       <value>76765</value> 
   7.     </property> 
   8.     <property> 
   9.       <name>user</name> 
  10.       <value>56756</value> 
  11.     </property> 
  12.     <property> 
  13.       <name>url</name> 
  14.       <value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@serveretc etc</value> 
  15.     </property> 
  16.     <description/> 
  17.   </jdbc-resource>
  what could be wrong ??
thanks in advance.

Answer 1

try to not split the attributes in server.xml
use them like
<Context path="/myPath" docBase="myDocBase" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.server:myDocBase">
                      <Resource name="jdbc/myDB"
                                                 auth="Container"
                                                 type="javax.sql.DataSource"
                                                 maxActive="100"
                                                 maxIdle="30"
                                                 maxWait="10000"
                                                 username="$$$"
                                                 password="$$$"
                                                 driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
                                                 url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/myTest" />
                 </Context>and i dont know why you define two resources
