As http://community.jboss.org/people/wdfink Wolf-Dieter Fink told You should try running only within JBoss AS 7 Environment. Which means, *you cannot try connecting from a standalone Java code.* You should try putting the code inside your web application and test. What you can do is, *put this block inside a test servlet and deploy and test i*t. This should work. Note: there is *no need for you to set any property*. DataSource ds = null; Context ctx = null; try {         String strDSName = "java:jboss/datasources/Test";         ctx = new InitialContext();         ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup(strDSName); } catch (Exception e) { } Hope this works for you. You can check in deatail on how it works in here http://kousikraj.wordpress.com/2011/11/25/datasource-configuration-setup-... http://kousikraj.wordpress.com/2011/11/25/datasource-configuration-setup-... -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/638361#638361] Start a new discussion in JNDI and Naming at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
