Pooled Data Source

[Daniel Cardin]

Well... it seems I just can't make it work, even though I have read just
about all the messages on the subject.

datasources :

        <data-source
                class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
                name="ddsNP"
                location="jdbc/ddsNP"
                xa-location="jdbc/xa/ddsXANP"
                ejb-location="jdbc/ddsNP"
                connection-driver="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver"
                username="sa"
                password=""
                url="jdbc:inetdae7:theserver:1433?database=test"
                inactivity-timeout="30"
                schema="database-schemas\ms-sql.xml"
        />
        <data-source
                class="com.evermind.sql.OrionPooledDataSource"
                name="dds"
                location="jdbc/ddsDS"
                xa-location="jdbc/xa/ddsXADS"
                ejb-location="jdbc/ddsDS"
                max-connections="2"
                source-location="jdbc/ddsNP"
                pooled-location="jdbc/ddsDS"
                username="sa"
                password=""               
            inactivity-timeout="30"
               connection-driver="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver"
               url="jdbc:inetdae7:theserver:1433?database=test"
       />

the code

      DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/ddsNP"); // have used
jdbc/ddsDS as well...

        the lookup returns an OrionCMTDataSource

        but the call to getConnection() 

      DatabaseMetaData dmd = ds.getConnection().getMetaData();

        raises :

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.evermind.sql.OrionPooledDataSource.d8(JAX)
        at com.evermind.sql.ak.eo(JAX)
        at com.evermind.sql.ak.ep(JAX)
        at com.evermind.sql.ap.getMetaData(JAX)
        at dds_testclient.Frame1.dsTest(Frame1.java:81)

Hints anyone ? 

Thanks!

Daniel
