Strange service=DataSourceBinding issue in JBoss

[Arijit Datta]

Hi guys, this is my first JPA, hello world project and I have already run into a wall

I am using JBoss 5.0.0.GA and EclipseLink 1.4

This is my persistence.xml ::

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0"
	xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">
	<persistence-unit name="myBank" transaction-type="JTA">
		<jta-data-source>jdbc/onlineBank</jta-data-source>
		<class>ejb3.tutorial.onlinebank.entity.account.User</class>
	</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

This is my oracle-ds.xml. I have kept it at jboss-5.0.0.GA\server\default\deploy. The ojdbc14.jar driver is also there.

<datasources>   
	<local-tx-datasource>   
		<jndi-name>onlineBank</jndi-name>  
		<connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@arijit-pc:1521:XE/sample;create=true</connection-url>   
		<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</driver-class>  
		<user-name>arijit</user-name>   
		<password>password</password>   
	</local-tx-datasource>   
</datasources>

The following is the server start up log

...

I cant seem to figure out why cant JBoss see that the DataSourceBinding has been done. Why is it looking for it again?

Thanks in advance people.

Best regards,

The jta-data-source value in the persistence.xml should match the JNDI name of your datasource. In your case, it should be:

<jta-data-source>java:onlineBank</jta-data-source>

Also, I would recommend that you move to 5.1.0 instead of 5.0.0. There have been numerous bugs fixed after 5.0.0.

Hi Jaikiran,

Thanks to you i atleast got my EJB deployed. THe server started without any problems. Also as per your suggestion I have upgraded to JBoss 5.1. However now I am facing a different kind of problem.

When the remote client hits the Jboss server. The following exception is thrown:

javax.ejb.EJBException: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Exception [EclipseLink-7060] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 1.1.4.v20100812-r7860): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.ValidationException
Exception Description: Cannot acquire data source [java:/onlineBank].
Internal Exception: javax.naming.InvalidNameException: Not a compound name: onlineBank

I have also changed my persistence.xml in the following way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0"
	xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">
	<persistence-unit name="myBank" transaction-type="JTA">
         <provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
		<jta-data-source>java:/onlineBank</jta-data-source>
		<class>ejb3.tutorial.onlinebank.entity.account.User</class>
	</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

And following is the oracle-ds.xml:

<datasources>   
	<local-tx-datasource>   
		<jndi-name>onlineBank</jndi-name>  
		<connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@arijit-pc:1521:XE/sample;create=true</connection-url>   
		<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</driver-class>  
		<user-name>arijit</user-name>   
		<password>password</password>   
	</local-tx-datasource>   
</datasources>

Please post the entire exception stacktrace. That exception looks a bit weird, as if the code isn't using JBoss naming server.
