Hello,
A connection pool is only the start, once you created a pool you need to create a datasource which uses this pool.
This datasource will have a JNDI name, this is the name you want in your code:
DataSource dd= (javax.sql.DataSource)ic.lookup("jdbc/<yourdatasourcejndiname>");The pool bame, is only a name. Its about the JNDI name for the datasource.
Hope this helps
