I had not expected a spring framework related class in the JNDI lookup stacktrace. Can you post the code which does the lookup? Are there any spring classes involved in that? The common way of looking up JNDI objects is: Context ctx = new InitialContext(); | ctx.lookup("java:/TestDB"); This code would use the jndi.properties in the conf folder of JBoss and use the appropriate INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY and other properties.
