Unable to lookup JNDI in JBoss 5 -------------------------------- Key: HHH-7268 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7268 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 4.1.2, 4.1.1 Environment: hibernate 4.1.2.Final, JBoss 5.1.0.GA, Spring 3.1.1 Reporter: T Priority: Minor There seems to be a problem using JNDI in Hibernate 4 in JBoss 5. The hibernate jar files are deployed to WEB-INF\lib folder. I have defined jboss-web.xml and can see the data source is bounded. INFO [org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.ConnectionFactoryBindingService] (main) Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=jdbc/my_app' to JNDI name 'java:jdbc/my_app' ... However, the following error is received. It doesn't matter if I use java:/jdbc/my_app or not or java:/comp/env/jdbc/my_app. If I switched to use DriverManagerDataSource for Hibernate, my app can deploy without a problem.
