Here is how we proceed for a DataSource JNDI Lookup with WebSphere
//-----------------------------
...........
java.util.Properties parms = new java.util.Properties();
parms.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.ibm.ejs.ns.jndi.CNInitialContextFactory");
// Create the Initial Naming Context
javax.naming.Context ctx = new javax.naming.InitialContext(parms);
// Lookup through the naming service to retrieve a DataSource object
javax.sql.DataSource ds =
(javax.sql.DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/SampleDB");
// Obtain a Connection from the DataSource
java.sql.Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
............
//-----------------------------
Datasources could thus be parked on WebSphere and accessed by clients remotely.
1>> Now, Can we park Datasources on Tomcat in a similar manner? Does Tomcat provide
DataSources to WebApps only?.
2>> If we can create DataSources on Tomcat to be remotely available (clients could be
EJB's on another server ) How do we go about doing that?
Thank You for your time
