Property not found trying to access a protected Data Source

[rajvijnish]

I am trying to access a protected data source from spring passing the initial context factory, provider url, principal, credentials.
I am using WLS 8.1.3 with a role condition saying that only the user "zadevl" (with the
correct credentials) can have access to all the resources in the container.

Following is excerpt from the spring config.xml
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryB ean" singleton="false">
<property name="resourceRef"><value>true</value></property>
<property name="java.naming.factory.initial"><value>weblogic .jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</value></property>
<property name="java.naming.provider.url"><value>t3://dfapt-ap02:7277</value></property>
<property name="jndiName"><value>jdbc/txamengineInputPool</value></property>
<property name="java.naming.security.principal"><value>zadev l</value></property>
<property name="java.naming.security.credentials"><value>pas sword</value></property>
</bean>

I am getting the following exception.
testGetProductCharacteristicsProductType(com.wlspo licy.spring.test.TestCharacteristicsService)org.sp ringframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreExc eption: Error registering bean with name 'dataSource' defined in resource loaded through InputStream: Validation of bean definition with name failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefi nitionValidationException: FactoryBean must be defined as singleton - FactoryBeans themselves are not allowed to be prototypes

To avoid this isngleton error I tried the following configuration
Following spring config.xml is same as above except for the attribute singleton="true".
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryB ean" singleton="true">
<property name="resourceRef"><value>true</value></property>
<property name="java.naming.factory.initial"><value>weblogic .jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</value></property>
<property name="java.naming.provider.url"><value>t3://dfapt-ap02:7277</value></property>
<property name="jndiName"><value>jdbc/txamengineInputPool</value></property>
<property name="java.naming.security.principal"><value>zadev l</value></property>
<property name="java.naming.security.credentials"><value>pas sword</value></property>
</bean>

Now I am getting the following exception saying that all the java.x.y.z properties are invalid.

Is this the right way to access a protected data source or is there any other way.
Could you please provide me an example how to make this work.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot.
Raj.

Raj,

JndiObjectFactoryBean doesn't have all those properties you are trying to set - it only has resourceRef and jndiName. The other properties must be set as a Java Properties instance in the jndiEnvironment property like this:

<property name="jndiEnvironment">
<props>
<prop name="java.naming.factory.initial">weblogic.jndi.W LInitialContextFactory</prop>
</props>
</property>

Thanks a lot Rob.

I would like to point one thing about the syntax though.

<prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">weblogic.jndi.WL InitialContextFactory</prop>
