Friends: I have the following setup.
A Jar file with a class called DBConnectionUtil that reads a specific string for lookup "jdbc/windsDS". This jar is being used inside of Websphere7 and it works fine. Inside of Tomcat 6, the same context look up for the jndi of jdbc/windsDS does NOT work. Tomcat expects Context parentcontext = new InitialContext(); Context childContext = parentcontext.lookup("java:comp/env"); Datasource ds = childContext.lookup("jdbc/windsDS"); All the xml entries are right since the above snippet works. I want to make the direct global look up aka jdbc/windsDS to work. Context parentcontext = new InitialContext(); Datasource ds = context.lookup("jdbc/windsDS"); Is there a way to do jndli direct global lookup ? -Narahari
