Extremely weird. Check the JMX console for your datasource. Look for the DataSourceBinding for your datasource. It will be under jboss.jca:name=JndiName,service=DataSourceBinding You should see the use java context property. Check that. It's the only thing I can think of that explains this. Those objects do not get bound into JNDI in any other way unless that property is set. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3983130#...
