[jboss-user] [JCA/JBoss] - casting exception in datasource lookup

Hi, I am new to jBoss AS. I am using jboss 4.0.4GA for developing an web-application. I have configured datasource(ds1) for MSSQL server as per demo xml file from "/docs/examples/" folder. It's in global namespace (i used <use-java-context>false</use-java-context>). Jboss is running in one machine on default installation. I am using a different machine in LAN. My web-application is running in my machine in tomcat(5.5.23) in 8080 port. here's the code snippet of lookup: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Properties prop= new Properties(); prop.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); prop.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://192.168.1.5:1099"); prop.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.namingrg.jnp.interfaces"); Context ctx= new InitialContext(prop); DataSource ds= (DataSource)ctx.lookup("ds1"); ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am always getting this error: java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.naming.Reference cannot be cast to javax.sql.DataSource Can anybody shed a light, what is going wrong? please tell me if more information is needed?
