weblogic jndi datasource issue with spring application - spring

Question

I have created a oracle datasource in weblogic with the name jdbc/myDS.
Weblogic created a xml file in mydomain/config/jdbc and the configuration works from the weblogic admin console. Test connection is working. My spring context file details are:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="jdbc/myDS"/>
</bean>
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<util:map>
<entry key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
<entry key="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
</util:map>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="myDAO" class ="com.example.MyDAOImpl">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
My Java class is:
public class MyDAOImpl implements MyDAO{
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory){
this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
}
public SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
public void persistPerson(Person person) {
Session session = getSessionFactory().openSession();
try {
session.beginTransaction();
session.save(person);
session.getTransaction().commit();
}catch(HibernateException he) {
he.printStackTrace();
} finally {
session.close();
}
}
}
An error occurred during activation of changes, please see the log for
details.

The following provides a Spring XML configuration to obtain a datasource by a JNDI name and inject it into Springs AnnotationSessionFactoryBean.
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="jdbc/YourJndi"/>
</bean>
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource">
<ref bean="dataSource" />
</property>
<property name="annotatedClasses">
<list>
<value>com.java.model.Employee</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">${hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto}</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
This example has been sucessfully tested on Weblogic 10.3.4 with Oracle 11g.
