How to use JNDI in an eWay?

Question

Currently this project is using an Oracle eWay for database communication. However, it is necessary to specify the database URL, user, and password. This is fine as long as these properties won't change, but they are different in each environment (dev, qa, uat, and production). We could create different eDesigner environments, and different deploymnet profiles. But we would prefer to have a single deployment profile so we could then generate a single ear file using the commandline codegen tool. That single ear file will then be promoted through the various stages.
For this to work, we would like to specify a JNDI datasource, rather than the actual database connectivity properties. Is this possible? If not, is there a different eway (JNDI datasource eWay?) that provides this capability?

Answer 1

Sorry for the late response,
InitialContext ctxt = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctxt.lookup( "jdbc/DB2Test" );
This is how i'm using the connection pool in my code. I set up a JDBC connection resource/pool, make sure it tests fine, and then I use it in my code above.
The only reason I'm doing this is because I am passing the datasource to a jar.
If you are using an eway to connect to the database, I would suggest using iConfigure. You can overwrite connection parameters without compiling a new EAR file. It's a more 'JCAPS' solution versus a 'Java' solution.
