Session bean connecting a data source

Question

Hi there,
I'm trying to make a session bean connect to a DataSource used by my Entity Beans. I'm using JBuilder5 and Borland Application Server.
Here is the code in my SessionBean:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource datasource = (DataSource)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/DataSource");
System.out.println("Datasource=" + datasource.toString());
Connection dbConnection = datasource.getConnection();
Statement stmt = dbConnection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT ID FROM PUBLICATION");
rs.next();
System.out.println(rs.getString("ID"));
I have already put a reference to this DataSource in the Deployment Descriptor but I get the following error message:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data
source name not found and no default driver specified
But with the CMP Entity Beans the DataSource works.
I would appreciatte any help. Thanks in advance.

Hi GHz,
I have a method in my Session bean QuerySessionBean called showData() that have the code I typed before. Sorry, but what do tou mean when you say that I must excute the query inside the session bean? I'm testing the method in a client using queryHome.showData().
Thanks for answering,
