[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - portlet accessing different database

Hi all, I have a portlet where i need a database connection. I am using MS SQL Server 2005 and i have created data source configuration in portal-sqlserver-ds.xml. I have created jboss-service.xml in META-INF folder of my portlet and in this jboss-service.xml i have created the session factory for the data source as follows | <mbean | code="org.jboss.portal.jems.hibernate.SessionFactoryBinder" | name="portal:service=Hibernate,type=Srinivas" | xmbean-dd="" | xmbean-code="org.jboss.portal.jems.as.system.JBossServiceModelMBean"> | <xmbean/> | <depends>jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=PortalDS</depends> | <attribute name="DoChecking">true</attribute> | <attribute name="ConfigLocation">conf/hibernate/srinivas/hibernate.cfg.xml</attribute> | <attribute name="JNDIName">java:/portal/SrinivasSessionFactory</attribute> | </mbean> Now in my code when i access the sessionfactory using following lines of code | try { | SessionFactory mySessionFactory = (SessionFactory) new InitialContext() | .lookup("java:/portal/SrinivasSessionFactory"); | | } catch (Throwable ex) { | System.out.println("------> Error while creating session factory --> " + ex.getMessage()); | ex.getStackTrace(); | } | am getting an exception. SrinivasSessionFactory not bound However if when i create the mbean in jboss-service.xml which is in server\default\deploy\jboss-portal.sar\META-INF directory, there is no exception which means that the mbean is created in this case. Now i feel each portlet must be independent enough to carry its database connectivity details. So i want to keep the mbean (of sessionFactory) definition in my portlet rather than jboss-portal.sar. So can any one tell me how can i achieve this goal of keeping this mbean definition in my portlet than jboss-portal.sar. Also can i keep the data source details (which are kept in portal-sqlserver-ds.xml) in my portlet ? my environment is as follows JBoss Portal Version : jboss 2.6.1 | Did you get Portal from CVS : yes | JBoss AS Version : JBoss AS 4.0.5 | Database Vendor and Version : MS SQL server 2005 | JDBC Connector : jdbc:jtds:sqlserver | OS Platform : Windows NT | | | Thanks in advance, | srinivas prabhu View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4084901#...
