Thanks jaikiran The spring related code is: | org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate context = new org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate(); | context.lookup("java:TestDB"); | I already tried the InitialContext but it didn't work, I got a null. BTW - it is working just fine in an EAR deploy, and I can get some other java:xxxx objects from the JNDI with the same code, it's very frustrating. It have to be something with the differences between the EAR and WAR deploying but I didn't figure out what. Thanks.
