Question

I am trying to use a datasource that I set up on my weblogic server.
datasource JNDI name = thinOracleDataSource

in my code I have the following

public class DAOBean implements java.io.Serializable {
private Connection conn;
public void connect() throws ClassNotFoundException,
SQLException, NamingException {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
// Lookup using JNDI name.
DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup("thinOracleDataSource");
conn = ds.getConnection();

}

But I get this error

 javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to look up /thinOracleDataSource in /app/webapp/PreAssignment2/24911485.; remaining name '/thinOracleDataSource'

am I looking the JNDI name in the right way? or am I missing something? Thanks for any help!!

EDIT:
This is the jndi tree that I can get from the weblogic console

Try naming your datasource jdbc/thisOracleDataSource in Weblogic and reference it as:

DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/thinOracleDataSource");

Also, make sure the datasource is “targeted” to your weblogic Java server. All of this can be done in the Weblogic admin console.
