Hi, I'm trying to do a JNDI lookup on the DataSource (MySQL) under java: namespace in my JSP and the lookup fails. I've configured all the files pertinent to creating a new data source. I see the new datasource bound in the JNDIView (but not in the global namespace). Here's the code: <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ page import="javax.sql.*,javax.naming.*,java.sql.*" %> <% InitialContext ctxt = new InitialContext(); DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctxt.lookup("java:/jdbc/MySqlDS"); Connection con = ds.getConnection(); if(con != null) out.println("Connection not null"); else out.println("Connection is null"); %> I wanted to set the <use-java-context>false</use-java-context> in the *.ds file but per MySQL its not a good practice for a production environment. How can I circumvent this issue? I want to able to access the data source in a servlet as well as in a POJO. Thanx for your help.
