[jboss-user] [JNDI/Naming/Network] - NameNotFoundException in Web-Application for 'java:comp/env'

[hiro.protagonist]

I am deploying a web application into JBoss 4.0.4GA with an embedded Tomcat 5.5 . The deployment descriptor (WEB-INF/web.xml) contains an <env-entry>:


  | ...
  |     <!-- Setup ENC for this webapp -->
  |     <env-entry>
  |         <env-entry-name>ecms/configfile</env-entry-name>
  |         <env-entry-value>server.properties</env-entry-value>
  |         <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
  |     </env-entry>
  | ...
  | 

This entry I would like to access via JNDI:


  | Context initial = new InitialContext();
  | Context environment = (Context)initial.lookup("java:comp/env");
  | 

This results in a NameNotFoundException for "env". The code works with a standalone Tomcat but not inside JBoss. The JNDI-View confirms that there is no "java:comp/env":


  | java: Namespace

  |   +- TransactionPropagationContextImporter (class: org.jboss.tm.TransactionPropagationContextImporter)
  |   +- TransactionManager (class: org.jboss.tm.TxManager)
  | 

My question: How can this happen? I thought the ENC has to exist for every application component, including webapps.

How do I need to configure JBoss to make an ENC available for my web application?

Any help really appreciated.

Forgive me my spelling errors since english is not my native language.
