[Jython-users] Trouble with getting to EJB

[Mike H. <th...@bi...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to use Jython to get to some EJB objects via JBoss 2.2 and
having very little luck.  I can get to the database from another
application (that also uses the EJB, but is Java) so I know that it is
being deployed properly.

According to the JBoss startup, my database is being deploy thus:
		  [jdbc/WP30] Starting
		  [jdbc/WP30] XA Connection pool jdbc/WP30 bound to java:/jdbc/WP30
		  [jdbc/WP30] Started

But when I try to get at it via zxODBC, it doesn't work:
		  >>> from com.ziclix.python.sql import zxJDBC
		  >>> jndi = "jdbc/WP30"
		  >>> db = zxJDBC.lookup(jndi)
		  Traceback (innermost last):
			 File "<console>", line 1, in ?
		  DatabaseError: jdbc not bound 

And there is a jndi.properties file in that directory, and Jython is
reading it.  I know this because if I muck with it, it give me an error:
 
original jndi.properties:
		  java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
		  java.naming.provider.url=localhost
		  java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

messed-up jndi.properties:
		  java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
		  java.naming.provider.url=fred://localhost
		  java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

Run with bad jndi.properties:
		  >>> from com.ziclix.python.sql import zxJDBC
		  >>> jndi = "jdbc/WP30"
		  >>> db = zxJDBC.lookup(jndi)
		  Traceback (innermost last):
			 File "<console>", line 1, in ?
		  DatabaseError: fred

Now, I am totally lost.  What could the problem be?  Is there any
suggestions?
