Question

It is said in Spring javadoc article about DriverManagerDataSource class, that this class is very simple and that it is recommended

to use a JNDI DataSource provided by the container. Such a DataSource can be exposed as a DataSource bean in a Spring ApplicationContext via JndiObjectFactoryBean

The question is: how to accomplish this?

For example if I wish to have DataSource bean to access my custo oracle database, what I require then? What to write in context configuration etc?

Answer 1

To access a JNDI data source you do something like:

<bean id="dbDataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName" value="jdbc/MyDatabase"/>
</bean>

or look et the spring ‘jee’ schema.

The details of the database connection are configured in WebLogic, the application accesses
the database through the jndi name.
