Setting up JNDI Datasource in jUnit

Question

I am trying to set up some jUnit testing. Our database is connected by the server using JNDI. We have an xml describing the setup in root.xml. How do I set up jUnit to hook up to the database? I'd prefer to have it just read the the stuff off of root.xml, but I'm open to setting it up anyway that works.

I've found this Blog: https://blogs.oracle.com/randystuph/entry/injecting_jndi_datasources_for_junit

About H2 Datasource: http://www.h2database.com/javadoc/org/h2/jdbcx/JdbcConnectionPool.html

So for my Code:

package com.example.test;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.sql.DataSource;

import org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcConnectionPool;

import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class JunitDataSource extends TestCase {

    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        // rcarver - setup the jndi context and the datasource
        try {
            // Create initial context
            System.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory");
            System.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.apache.naming");
            InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();

            ic.createSubcontext("java:");
            ic.createSubcontext("java:/comp");
            ic.createSubcontext("java:/comp/env");
            ic.createSubcontext("java:/comp/env/jdbc");

            JdbcConnectionPool ds = JdbcConnectionPool.create(
                    "jdbc:h2:file:src/main/resources/test.db;FILE_LOCK=NO;MVCC=TRUE;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=TRUE", "sa", "sasasa");
            // Construct DataSource
            // OracleConnectionPoolDataSource ds = new
            // OracleConnectionPoolDataSource();
            // ds.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:db");
            // ds.setUser("MY_USER_NAME");
            // ds.setPassword("MY_USER_PASSWORD");

            ic.bind("java:/mydatasourcename", ds);
        } catch (NamingException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(JunitDataSource.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

    }

    public void testSimple() throws Exception {

        // Obtain our environment naming context
        Context initCtx = new InitialContext();

        // Look up our datasource
        DataSource ds = (DataSource) initCtx.lookup("java:/mydatasourcename");

        Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
        Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

        ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES");


        while (rset.next()) {
          System.out.println("<<<\t"+rset.getString("TABLE_NAME"));
        }


    }

}

Note: I had to add Tomcat Library and the jars inside the Tomcat's bin directory to get it working
