[JBoss-user] accessing datasource from servlet

[Nathan F. <nfi...@ge...>]

We're developing a servlet that needs to access an Oracle database. We
would like to use jBoss/Tomcat for development purposes. We require that
the servlet access the database through a JDBC data source (using the
JNDI name "java:comp/env/jdbc/datasource"). I have read through what
little documentation there is on this topic in jBoss, and I have
searched the mailing list archive for anything about "jndi" and "java
comp env". Still, I cannot find a set of configuration changes that will
enable a servlet to see a JDBC datasource. From what I can tell, only an
EJB would work, which is not going to work for us.

I do not fear data, so if you have a sample configuration that does what
I am describing, please feel free to email a tarball of your config
files directly to me.

thanks
