OK I think I see the problem but I am not sure where to fix it Here is the contents of my DS file named: JvantageDS.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <local-tx-datasource> <jndi-name>jdbc/JvantageDS</jndi-name> <use-java-context>false</use-java-context> <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://mysqlserver/jvantage</connection-url> <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class> <user-name>myozzo</user-name> tiger55 </local-tx-datasource> notice that is spelled correctly in both places So where is this paremeter lookup failure on dataSource [jdbc/jVantageDS]: jdbc not bound being passed from the setup webpage.
