I think I've figured it out. I found an article that states that any name under "java:" is restricted to use inside the JBoss JVM. Through a little more searching, I found that by adding the following to your *-ds.xml file, the "java:" will not be added infront of whatever you have defined in the <jndi-name> tag. I haven't confirmed this will fix my problem, but i have a good feeling it will. I'll post back with the results. anonymous wrote : <use-java-context>false</use-java-context> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3968222#...
