DataSource JNDI name

[Paul Sturrock]

Anyone know how you configure a DataSource so it can be looked up from an EJB in java:comp/env/ rather than directly from java:/ ?

A resource-ref entry needs to be made in the ejb-jar.xml and the corresponding jboss.xml. Something like this:

ejb-jar.xml:

<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>someName/someOtherName</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>

jboss.xml:

<resource-ref>
        <res-ref-name>someName/someOtherName</res-ref-name>
        <jndi-name>java:/theDatasourceJNDINameFromDSdotXml</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>

The datasource will then be available to that EJB at java:comp/env/someName/someOtherName.

Ah - of course! Thanks Jaikiran.
