Error upon integrating JNDI with Spring - oracle

Question

This was my first attempt at Spring with JNDI but getting the below mentioned exception when trying to create the ApplicationContext like:
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("master-job.xml");
The Spring configuration file is as follows:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="/jdbc/Eqpstatus"/>
<property name="resourceRef" value="true" />
</bean>
<bean id="masterDao" class="com.dao.MasterDao">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>
On Server i have the required resource entry for the JNDI name.
<Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
maxActive="10" maxIdle="2" maxWait="10000" name="jdbc/Eqpstatus"
password="xxxx" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=on)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxxx) (PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxxx) (PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=xyz)))"
username="xxx"/>
The error i see is:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context
Would highly appreciate any inputs on this as am new to Spring-JNDI integration.

Answer 1

First, I think you should use the dedicated tag instead of declaring a "JndiObjectFactoryBean" bean :
<!-- JNDI DataSource for J2EE environments -->
<jee:jndi-lookup id="dataSource" jndi-name="java:jdbc/rppsDS-PUB-PROTO" default-ref="localDataSource" />
<!-- local dataSource for JUnit integration tests -->
<bean id="localDataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/>
<property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}"/>
<property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}"/>
<property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/>
<property name="maxActive" value="100"/>
<property name="maxWait" value="1000"/>
<property name="poolPreparedStatements" value="true"/>
<property name="defaultAutoCommit" value="true"/>
</bean>
Then, you need a jndi.properties file (which could be directly in application server dir such as JBoss) with a content similar to :
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099

Answer 2

If you are using Tomcat and everything is fine with your Tomcat configuration; this should be enough:
<jee:jndi-lookup id="dataSource" jndi-name="java:comp/env/jdbc/dataSource" />
Where jdbc/dataSource is the name defined in your Tomcat config.
EDIT:
My bad, forgot about the jndi.properties; there are two possibilities:
either provide a jndi.properties on your classpath or
set the values in a in the <jee:jndi-environment/> element of <jee:jndi-lookup /> (see reference)
The java.naming.factory.initial property needs to be set for sure, to something like org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory, possibly some other values as well, like:
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.apache.naming
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs.prefixes=org.apache.naming
java.naming.provider.url=org.apache.naming
Also see reference.
