Hi all,
I haven't done any serious Java work in a very long time so most of the J2EE jargon is lost on me.
I'm having problems with getting my application talking to my JDBC connection (SQL Server w/jTDS) exposed via JNDI in Glassfish V3 Prelude.
As far as I know, my JDBC connection pool and JDBC resource is working properly - I can successfuly see my JDBC resource using asadmin list-jdbc-resources and I can ping the JDBC connection pool with success via the web and asadmin.
My question is - how the heck am I supposed to get my InitialContext? I'm completely ignorant about J2EE, WAR files and the various XML files that I when I google for help. I'm deploying a Django application with the Jython container.
I *think* I'm supposed to just use the default empty constructor for javax.naming.InitialContext, but that doesn't seem to work. I get NullPointer exceptions when I try creating an instance.
Is there a context factory I'm supposed to define somewhere? How do I know which JAR files I'm supposed to use - and frankly where am I supposed to put them?
Right now, I've got things hobbling along by grepping the JAR contents in glassfish/modules and copying JAR files into glassfish/lib/endorsed or else I get ClassNotFound exceptions.
