Problems getting an Application-Client to use a datasource in Orion

[Owen Fellows]

I have an orion server using a datasource.
I want to connect to this datasource from outside the application but I'm having 
problems.

I have created this program.

import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.naming.*;

import com.evermind.sql.*;

public class TestConnect
{
    public TestConnect()
    {
        try
        {
            System.out.println ("Before IC");
              InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
            System.out.println ("After IC");
                OrionPooledDataSource ds = 
(OrionPooledDataSource)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/external/DATASOURCE");
            Connection c = ds.getConnection();
            System.out.println ("After Connection, c is isClosed = " + new Boolean 
(c.isClosed()).toString());

            String query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM USERS";
            PreparedStatement s = c.prepareStatement(query);
            System.out.println ("After createStatement, s is null = " + new Boolean 
(s==null).toString());
            ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery ();

            rs.next();
            System.out.println ("User Count = " + rs.getString ("COUNT (*)"));
                        rs.close();
            s.close();
            c.close();
        }
        catch (SQLException ex)
        {
            System.out.println (ex.getMessage());
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (NamingException ex)
        {
            System.out.println (ex.getMessage());
        }

    }

    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        new TestConnect();
    }
}


I have also set up the jndi.properties file
java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=ormi://localhost/app
java.naming.security.principal=admin
java.naming.security.credentials=password


The program runs and i getting the following output and error.
Before IC
After IC
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.evermind.sql.OrionPooledDataSource.d7(JAX)
        at com.evermind.sql.OrionPooledDataSource.d8(JAX)
        at com.evermind.sql.OrionPooledDataSource.getConnection(JAX)
        at TestConnect.<init>(TestConnect.java:17)
        at TestConnect.main(TestConnect.java:45)


Has anyone got any ideas why i would be getting this error.
I have also tried different DataSource classes to see if you had to us a specific one 
for remote connections. Still not luck.

Thanks Owen
