Below is the logic in the init method of my servlet: strDSName = "java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS"; Context ctx = new InitialContext(); ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup(strDSName); I am starting jboss in domain mode and when I invoke the servlet I am getting the NamingException, below is the stacktrace: 16:53:58,445 INFO  [stdout] (http-localhost/127.0.0.1:8081-1) Trying to get -->java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS   16:53:58,461 ERROR [stderr] (http-localhost/127.0.0.1:8081-1) javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: datasources/ExampleDS -- service jboss.naming.context.java.jboss.datasources.ExampleDS   16:53:58,461 ERROR [stderr] (http-localhost/127.0.0.1:8081-1)           at org.jboss.as.naming.ServiceBasedNamingStore.lookup(ServiceBasedNamingStore.java:103) *Just fyi the same code works well in jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.* Please suggest if anything else has to be done to make it work on jboss-as-7.2.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT PFA the sample web application. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/779092#779092] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
