spring - javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [comp/env] is not bound in this Context

Question

I'm developing a spring application which uses tomcat server managed connection pool.

I defined datasource in tag in context.xml of tomcat: (i am using spring 2.0.7) in context.xml:

<context>
    <Resource name="jdbc/irb_prod"
    auth="Container"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
    username="xxx"
     password="xxx"
     driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
     url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx:1521:xxx"
     maxWait="1000"
     removeAbandoned="true"
     maxActive="5"
     maxIdle="5"
     removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
     logAbandoned="true"/>
</context>

And in my ApplicationContext.xml(i.e in spring configuration file), the code is:

     <bean id="dataSource" 
     class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName">
    <value>java:comp/env/jdbc/irb_prod</value>
    </property>
    </bean>


 <!-- Transaction manager for a single JDBC DataSource -->
    <bean id="transactionManager" 
    class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">
    <property name="dataSource"><ref local="dataSource"/></property>
    </bean>

When the application starts, I get the following errors:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java:/comp/env/mypool is not bound in this              Context

please help me to solve this problem.

Answer 1

I faced similar problem with tomcat and did the following in eclipse to solve it:

1. In the server's context.xml, included the jdbc connection details.
2. Stop the server
3. Clean the project(Project --> Clean) , the tomcat server (Server--> Right Click --> Clean) and Tomcat work directory (Server--> Right Click--> Clean Tomcat Work Directory).
4. Start the server and run.

Even after maintaining the details in context.xml, sometimes it might not get reflected. In such cases follow step#3 and hope it helps.
