How do I connect to a datasource thru code without context "java:comp/env"
Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:comp/env");
I just want to connect to DB like this
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initContext.lookup("jdbc/LiferayPool");
Is it possible, if so where do I specify java jndi context ("java:comp/env")
outside the code?
If I have not misunderstood you last question and although I am not a G
developer I hope no one minds I jump in an try to help out.
In Liferay there are several ways to set up a database connection but
you probably want to use Geronimo:s connection pool and sins Liferay
5.2.2 it is ones again possible to set up the application server
connection pools JNDI name by specify the following line in your
portal-ext.properties file.
###application server connection pools JNDI name
jdbc.default.jndi.name=jdbc/LiferayPool
I am not sure the following is required but I also have this in the end
of the web.xml file.
<!-- Geronimo usage -->
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/LiferayPool</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
Hope this helps.
