Always get a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException why?

[cj91]

Running Glassfish 2.1, I'm always getting this error:

Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: SimpleUsageTrackingDatasource not found
at com.sun.enterprise.naming.TransientContext.doLooku p(TransientContext.java:216)
at com.sun.enterprise.naming.TransientContext.lookup( TransientContext.java:188)
at com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialContextProviderImp l.lookup(SerialContextPr

here is my spring config xml:

<jee:jndi-lookup id="SimpleUsageTrackingDatasource"
jndi-name="SimpleUsageTrackingDatasource"
resource-ref="false" />

here is my web.xml:

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

and here is my sun-web.xml in my web-inf dir:

<sun-web-app error-url="">
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>SimpleUsageTrackingDatasource</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>jdbc/SimpleUsageTrackingDatasource</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>

And finally, yes, I do have a datasource named visible jdbc/SimpleUsageTrackingDatasource in the JNDI browser of Glassfish. I'm completely stuck. Why can't I ever resolve this?

Hey,
I've got exactly the same problem. Have you found any solution?

[cj91]

unfortunately no.

It's turns out it's a problem with glassfish 2.1 not honoring the sun-web.xml nor the context.xml. I never found a workaround.

Dude, I just found out it actually works. I've had this problem with a SLSB, not a datasource but I guess it's the same issue, I've had the same exception:

Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: xxx not found
at com.sun.enterprise.naming.TransientContext.doLookup(TransientContext.java:216)

Technically speaking I still have it, but the reference is set anyway. Here's my config:

web.xml:

	<ejb-local-ref id="ejb_testmanager">
		<ejb-ref-name>ejb/TestManager</ejb-ref-name>
		<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
		<local>yyy.test.TestManager</local>
	</ejb-local-ref>

applicationContext.xml:

	<jee:jndi-lookup id="xxxx" jndi-name="java:comp/env/ejb/TestManager"/>

java class, spring controller:

@Controller
public class TestUIController {
 ...
	private TestManager testManager;

	@RequestMapping("/")
	public String indexHandler() {
		System.out.println("wtf: " + testManager);
		
		if (testManager != null) {
			System.out.println("Wooohooo!");
			testManager.GenerateSomeData();
		}				
		return "index";
	}
 ...
	@Resource(name="xxxx")
	public void setTestManager(TestManager testManager) {
		this.testManager = testManager;
	}

}

And this is just fine. The indexHandler method generates some data.
Yes, I've still got the NameNotFoundException exception from sun, but spring is just fine. I guess this is the first exception in my project I'll have to ignore, hope the last one :/ Maybe you've got a similar issue? HTH

I think it works beacuse you put the complete lookup string in your spring config. If you put java:comp/env/ejb/TestManager in your web.xml you could probably get rid of the error.

The problem is glassfish doesn't seem to support renaming or redirecting of jndi lookups inside ears/wars

Thanks for your effort, Kornel. Your post did help me out of my Spring misery. Glassfish seems to be very complicated, I'll have to practice a lot.
