anonymous wrote : DataSource source = (DataSource)context.lookup("DCDEV"); // DOES NOT WORK The reason why this wont work is because, by default the datasources are bound in the java: namespace. If you want it to be bound in the global namespace then add the following statement to your ds configuration file(i.e. oracle-ds.xml) <local-tx-datasource> | <jndi-name>DCDEV</jndi-name> | <use-java-context>false</use-java-context> | ...... | <!-- All your other stuff --> | | </local-tx-datasource> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3963103#...
