Thank you so much for catching that tag name problem; however the issue still remains. My code below still doesn't work. out.println("<H1>VERSION 2 w/ DataSource of DCPROD</H1>"); Connection con2 = null; try { InitialContext context = new InitialContext(null); DataSource source = (DataSource)context.lookup("DCDEV"); // DOES NOT WORK //DataSource source = (DataSource)context.lookup("java:/DCDEV"); // DOES WORK con2 = source.getConnection(); out.println("DONE!"); } catch (Exception ex) { out.println("NO SUCCESS BECAUSE " + ex.getMessage() + ""); //ex.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(out)); } finally { if (con2 != null) { con2.close(); out.println("AND WE CLOSED IT!"); } } View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3962993#...
