Websphere - JDNI name not found

Question

I'm trying to run a web app localy.

When ever I run my server I get "NameNotFoundException", which Is because JNDI lookup doesn't seem to find the module. Even though I made all the required modifications (I guess). I didn't do any changes to the administrator's WAS console. Any one knows what is causing this issue or what settings am I missing?

Web.xml :

<resource-ref id="Ref_1">
    <description>
    </description>
    <res-ref-name>abcDe</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
    <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>

in ibm-web-bnd.xml :

<resRefBindings xmi:id="Ref_1" jndiName="jdbc/abcDe">
     <bindingResourceRef href="WEB-INF/web.xml#Ref_1"/> 
</resRefBindings>

Here is the stack trace :

Answer 1

Please try the following

1. Change the <res-ref-name>abcDe</res-ref-name> to <res-ref-name>jdbc/abcDe</res-ref-name> inside your web.xml file

2. Make sure that your application and the JDBC datasource are configured at the same level (Cell/Node/Server).
