How to connect to weblogic data source using jndi name?

Question

I am trying to connect to database using data source look up from weblogic as below:
factory = "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory"
conn = zxJDBC.lookup('ApplicationDB',INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=factory)
this is throwing DatabaseError:
however i can connect to the db using uname, pwd and url. its working fine using zxJDBC in jython.
any clue why the first one is failing?

public class MyDataSourceLookupClient
     public final static String JNDI_FACTORY = "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory";
     private static String serverUrl ="t3://localhost:7001";
public static void main(String ar[])throws Exception
InitialContext ic=null;
try{
          Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
          env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, JNDI_FACTORY);
          env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, serverUrl);
          ic = new InitialContext(env);
catch(Exception e){}
try{
DataSource ds=ic.lookup("YourDataSourceJNDIName");
Connection con=ds.getConnection();
System.out.println("\n\t Got Connection: "+con);
con.close();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("\n\n\t jack Exception => "+e);
e.printStackTrace();
