Unable to lookup JNDI name - hibernate 4.1.5 , Spring 3.1.1 , JBoss 5

[suresh pandey]

Hi,

I am getting the error "nested exception is org.hibernate.service.jndi.JndiException: Unable to lookup JNDI name" while using hibernate with spring for jboss.

hibernate -config is

<hibernate-configuration>

<session-factory >
<property name="connection.pool_size">10</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="connection.datasource">ScionDS</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

<mapping class="com.tms.efc.configuratoradmin.entity.Employee" />

</session-factory>


</hibernate-configuration>


application-context is

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="configLocation" value="classpath:config/hibernate-config.xml"/>
</bean>


I have configured the data soucre on jboss.

Thanks

Please UseCodeTags when posting code or configuration.

I am going to move this to the Spring forum as it appears to be a Spring configuration issue.

Where is your datasource configured in your application context?

[suresh pandey]

Well the problem has been solved, data source is configure on JBoss server. Actually JBoss internally append 'java:' with the JNDI name so if you have configured JNDI name as 'ScioDS' you need to access it using 'java:ScionDS'.

OK that was my mistake I missed that you had set this property.

<property name="connection.datasource">ScionDS</property> 

Yeah they all have to be different with the jndi binding

The more typical is java:comp/env/

With the code you are currently having it may not be portable to other major application servers. This may or may not be an issue for you.
