[OT] : How to get a connection from Tomcat DBCP from a remote application?

[appa rao]

Hi,

I am using Tomcat 5.5.7 and configured DBCP properly to work with Oracle 9i.
Everything is working fine if I try to get the connection from the Pool from an 
application deployed in Tomcat.
 
However if I try to get the connection from the Pool from an application which 
is not deployed in Tomcat (remote client), I am getting not bound exceptions.
 
Here is the code:
 
import java.util.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
public class  ClientTest
{
 public static void main(String[] args) 
 {
  Context ctx = null;
  try
  {
   Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
   props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, 
"org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory");
   props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.apache.catalina.util.naming");
   ctx = new InitialContext(props);
   DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/test");
  }
  catch(Exception e)
  {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
 }
}
 
Stacktrace shows:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java: is not bound in this Context
        at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.list(NamingContext.java:344)
        at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.list(NamingContext.java:367)
        at javax.naming.InitialContext.list(InitialContext.java:387)
 
What am I doing wrong?  Is it allowed to access the Pool from remote client in 
first place?
 
Thanks in advance,
Appa
