I think I may have found the issue further up in my server log: [WrapperDataSourceService] Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=/jdbc/expertDB' to JNDI name 'java:/jdbc/expertDB' Is there any way to force Jboss to bind jdbc/expertDB to jdbc/expertDB? It seems to be adding the "java:" on it's own because even when I change my jboss-web.xml to: <jboss-web> | <security-domain>java:/jaas/jmx-console</security-domain> | <resource-ref> | <res-ref-name>jdbc/expertDB</res-ref-name> | <jndi-name>jdbc/expertDB</jndi-name> | </resource-ref> | </jboss-web> I still get the same binding: [WrapperDataSourceService] Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=/jdbc/expertDB' to JNDI name 'java:jdbc/expertDB' View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4233624#...
