JNDI problem (Tomcat 4.0)

[Yuriy Zubarev]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had success with JNDI functionality
under Tomcat 4.0, because I'm desperate. The only thing I would
like to do is have a bean initialized and populated with values taken
from server.xml file and as respond I always get:

javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance

Here is my configuration:

web.xml:

  <resource-env-ref>
    <resource-env-ref-name>
      bean/ConfirurationBean
    </resource-env-ref-name>
    <resource-env-ref-type>
      com.upsideweb.wis.web.ConfigurationBean
    </resource-env-ref-type>
  </resource-env-ref>

server.xml:

      <Host name="value" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" debug="1">
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
                 directory="value"  prefix="value" suffix=".txt"
                 pattern="combined" resolveHosts="true"/>
        <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                directory="value"  prefix="value" suffix=".txt"
                timestamp="true"/>
        <Context path="" docBase="/value" debug="1"
                 reloadable="true">

          <Resource name="bean/ConfigurationBean"
type="com.ConfigurationBean"/>
          <ResourceParams name="bean/ConfirurationBean">
            <parameter>
              <name>bannerFileLocation</name>
              <value>banners.xml</value>
            </parameter>
          </ResourceParams>

        </Context>

      </Host>


In a custom tag I have a code like this:

      try {
        Context initialContext = new InitialContext();
        ConfigurationBean confBean =
          (ConfigurationBean)
initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/bean/ConfigurationBean");
        fileLocation = confBean.getBannerFileLocation();
      } catch (NamingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }

In the second line of try block I always get an exception.
Propably I'm missing something but so far I have no clue
exactly what.

Thank you for your time.

Best of luck,
Yuriy Zubarev
