The server.log reports that Spring appears to find the object in the JNDI tree, and that it accesses it from the JNDI as a Remote DataSource. I have some code that is called on application startup in a Servlet just to try and see what the DataSource looks like. The code is: | System.out.println( "Data Source: " + ctx.getBean( "dataSource" ) ); | DataSource ds = null; | Connection c = null; | try { | ds = (DataSource)ctx.getBean( "dataSource" ); | System.out.println( "DataSource: " + ds ); | c = ds.getConnection(); | System.out.println( "Connection: " + c ); | } catch (SQLException e) { | e.printStackTrace(); | } finally { | if( c != null ) { | try { | c.close(); | } catch (SQLException e) {} | } | } | ----- log: 2006-11-03 14:00:22,939 DEBUG [org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate] Looking up JNDI object with name [java:/mdc] 2006-11-03 14:00:23,064 DEBUG [org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean] Located object with JNDI name [java:/mdc] .... 2006-11-03 14:00:31,892 INFO [STDOUT] Data Source: org.jboss.invocation.jrmp.interfaces.JRMPInvokerProxy@7ae165 2006-11-03 14:00:31,892 INFO [STDOUT] DataSource: org.jboss.invocation.jrmp.interfaces.JRMPInvokerProxy@7ae165 2006-11-03 14:00:31,955 DEBUG [org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.IdleRemover] internalRegisterPool: registering pool with interval 900000 old interval: 450000 2006-11-03 14:00:31,955 DEBUG [org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.remote.WrapperDataSourceService] Created Connection proxy for invoker=jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmp, targetName=jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=mdc, cacheID=14322087 2006-11-03 14:00:31,970 INFO [STDOUT] Connection: 14322087 2006-11-03 14:00:32,033 DEBUG [org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.remote.WrapperDataSourceService] Created Connection proxy for invoker=jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmp, targetName=jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=mdc, cacheID=21168790 2006-11-03 14:00:32,095 DEBUG [org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.remote.WrapperDataSourceService] Created Statement proxy for invoker=jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmp, targetName=jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=mdc, cacheID=13208327 2006-11-03 14:00:32,158 DEBUG [org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.remote.WrapperDataSourceService] Created ResultSet proxy for invoker=jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmp, targetName=jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=mdc, cacheID=22616909 2006-11-03 14:00:32,361 DEBUG [org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.remote.WrapperDataSourceService] Closed Statement=13208327 2006-11-03 14:00:33,252 DEBUG [org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.remote.WrapperDataSourceService] Created DatabaseMetadata proxy for invoker=jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmp, targetName=jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=mdc, cacheID=188949142006-11-03 14:00:33,377 DEBUG [org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.TomcatDeployer] Initialized: {WebApplication: /C:/opt/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/mdc/tmp/deploy/tmp21642MLSDataChecker-exp.war/, URL: file:/C:/opt/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/mdc/tmp/deploy/tmp21642MLSDataChecker-exp.war/, classLoader: java.net.FactoryURLClassLoader@1e3bfb6:31702966} jboss.web:j2eeType=WebModule,name=//localhost/MLSDataChecker,J2EEApplication=none,J2EEServer=none 2006-11-03 14:00:33,377 DEBUG [org.jboss.web.WebModule] Started jboss.web.deployment:war=MLSDataChecker.war,id=1278716270 2006-11-03 14:00:33,377 DEBUG [org.jboss.system.ServiceController] Starting dependent components for: jboss.web.deployment:war=MLSDataChecker.war,id=1278716270 dependent components: [] 2006-11-03 14:00:33,392 DEBUG [org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer] End deployment start on package: MLSDataChecker.war View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3983123#...
