I've set up a datasource via a -ds.xml file. When the application starts, that source shows up as being bound correctly to java:FeedConn (I specified FeedConn in the xml file). When the application attempts to connect to that, however, if I search for java:FeedConn (or java:/FeedConn), it fails to find the datasource. What's very odd, however, is that if I search for just FeedConn, I get a javax.naming.CommunicationException (Receive timed out). Does it connect to a different default location when not using the java namespace (presumably one that jboss doesn't provide by default)? And does anyone have any reason why the name doesn't get found when using that namespace? (FWIW, the initial context is created without arguments).
