Spring/hibernate configuration error

Question

I'm new at Java Spring and Hibernate and I'm trying to build an application with those technologies (Maven, Spring and Hibernate). When I try to run it I receive an error from the glassfish server, It's a very long stacktrace, but this is the last part:

Exception while loading the app : java.lang.IllegalStateException:
ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException:
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: CentricJavaDB not found

I'm trying things out for hours but I don't find my mistake. I'm pretty sure it's in a configuration xml file but I can't fix it. I hope some of u guys can help me (:

The configuration files:

Dispatcher servlet in the WEB-INF folder:

glassfish-web.xml in WEB-INF:

</glassfish-web-app>

I also found this file "Other Sources\Setup\glassfish-resources.xml". I don't see big differences with "glassfish-web.xml" but it also contains database information. I think it also could be important:

</resources>

I think the error is caused because of the jndi-lookup can't find the datasource in glassfish-web.xml, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I think this should be enough information. If you want more files, stacktraces or whatever, just ask and I will post it.

Answer 1

JNDI resources are often tricky to figure out.

Stacktrace points to a problem with how you data source is defined. According to documentation :

Expect to find the JNDI name of a JDBC resource in java:comp/env/jdbc

Trying putting the following in your config:

 <jee:jndi-lookup id="dataSource" jndi-name="java:comp/env/jdbc/CentricJavaDB"/>

Though according to this question: Spring 3 JNDI look up in glassfish3 this is not necessary
