Hi, You can try with "java:comp/env/jdbc/waps" instead of "jdbc/waps"

I am using Websphere portal server 5.0.2.3. I have developed a portlet which uses a JNDI data source. I have made the JNDI source in Websphere application server & have also tested the connection. It returns successful. I have the following code in my portlet to connect to the database(which is a SQLServer Database). ctx = new InitialContext(); dataSource = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/waps"); conn=ds.getConnection(); However, when I deploy the portlet on portal server & try to run it, it gives a null pointer exception as it is not able to get the data source. It's not able to lookup the jndi source. Is there any configuration that needs to be done on the portal server. If yes, then would anybody please help & list out the steps to me. Please help, it's urgent, Thanks & Regards, Meenakshi. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
