Hello, I am trying to access Oracle data source in Jboss from a stand-alone java program. For doing this I have done the following: (1) Copied the oracle driver (classes12.jar) in server\default\lib directory of JBOSS_HOME. (2) Copied the oracle-ds.xml file from docs\examples\jca directory of JBOSS_HOME to server\default\deploy of JBOSS_HOME. In this file I have changed the connection URL. (3) Next I have changed the default standardjaws.xml. I have changed the data source name and its type-mapping to Oracle8. (4) I have changed standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml file also. (5) I have put an entry in login-config.xml file also. The code that I used to access the JNDI name for the data source is follows public class JNDIServiceLocator { private static InitialContext intContex =null; static { Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY , "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL , "jnp://localhost:1099"); env.put("java.naming.rmi.security.manager", "yes"); env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming"); try { intContex = new InitialContext(env); System.out.println("Created the context ...."); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public static void main(String[] args) { try { intContex.lookup("java:/OracleDS"); } catch (NamingException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Now I am getting the following exception Created the context .... javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: OracleDS not bound at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:495) at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:503) at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getObject(NamingServer.java:509) at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.lookup(NamingServer.java:282) at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:530) at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:509) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(Unknown Source) at JNDIServiceLocator.main(JNDIServiceLocator.java:33) Can anybody give me any guide line regarding this problem.
