I guess the datasource is properly configured because the following snippet works without any problems. public String myFunction(String in) throws NamingException {           InitialContext ctx;           ctx = new InitialContext();         DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:/MyDataSource");           // do something with the datasource                 return "something";     } but if I'am trying something like that @Resource(name="MyDataSource") private DataSource ds;   public String myFunction(String in) throws NamingException {           // do something with the datasource ds                 return "something";     }   I can't even deploy my webservice to the JBoss AS. The message says  that "MyDataSource" couldn't be found ;( I hope somebody has a piece of advice for me. Thanks a lot.
