Orion, DataSource and mySQL

Question

Hi,
I'm having a problem receiving a connection from a DataSource through my appserver - Orion. I've entered the following into data-sources.xml:
     <data-source
          class="org.gjt.mm.mysql.MysqlDataSource"
          name="MySQL"
          location="jdbc/MyDB"
          connection-driver="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
          username="foo"
          password="foo"
          port="3306"
          url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/MyDB"
          inactivity-timeout="0"
     />     I then attempt to receive a connection in a JSP file:
            Context ctx = new InitialContext();
            DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/MyDB");
            connection = ds.getConnection("foo","foo");When I the query the database I get an error, saying that no database has been selected. I have tried this without datasources, and it works, but I would prefer the usage of DataSources. What have I done wrong?
Thanks on advance,
Nille

When using DataSource you shouldn't use URL. Use the host and maybe the properties instead. This is a working XA DataSource for Mimer SQL. I think the syntax is the same.
<data-source
     name="MimerXADataSourceMulti1"
     location="jdbc/MimerXADataSourceMulti1"
     class="com.mimer.jdbc.MimerXADataSource"
     username="fredrika"
     password="fredrika"
     host="localhost"
     schema="database-schemas/mimer.xml">
     <property name="databaseName" value="multi1" />
</data-source>
A MySQL datasource might look like (I haven't tried this):
<data-source
     class="org.gjt.mm.mysql.MysqlDataSource"
     name="MySQL"
     location="jdbc/MyDB"
     connection-driver="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
     username="foo"
     password="foo"
     port="3306"
host="localhost"
     inactivity-timeout="0"
<property name="databaseName" value="MyDB" />
/>
