The DataSource with the JNDI name: contentDataSource could not be located

Question

Hello,
We try to deploy our system/application to the servers that structed as
Machine one has:
1 administration domain
1 managed domain
Machine two has :
1 managed domain which is administrated by machine one.
I was trying to deploy the UI(portal application) to managed domain under Machine one. I got
error message as following:
Exception:weblogic.management.ApplicationException: activate failed for content.jar Module: content.jar Error: Exception activating module: EJBModule(content.jar,status=PREPARED) Unable to deploy EJB: ValueBean from content.jar: [EJB:011028]The DataSource with the JNDI name: contentDataSource could not be located. Please ensure that the DataSource has been deployed successfully and that the JNDI name in your EJB Deployment descriptor is correct.
I have portalFrameworkPool Data Sources deployed to both managed domains.
when I deploy the application to the server that has one one domain(both adminstrator domain and application domain are in one), it is fine.
Can some one with same experience, or BEA people provide some help on this? Very appreciate any help on this issue.
Thanks in advance.

:-p
If you go to each Managed Server on the console, you can see the Service tab and then go to JDBC. Under JDBC you can see all the pool connections. Instead of localhost they should be pointing to the specific hostname or ip address of the adminserver and the pointbase port on that server (9093 by default) so the EAR files can be correctly deployed and then the JNDI Tree will look exactly the same on both servers. Change all the connection pools to use the specific hostname instead of localhost. Hope this works for you.
