Weblogic javax.naming.NameNotFoundException while running application

Question

I have created a data source name in Weblogic 10.3.6 as jdbc/appsmDS and the same name has been given in application to lookup.

However when I am trying to run application, I am getting the following error

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup 'jdbc/appsmDS' 
didn't find subcontext 'jdbc'. Resolved ''; remaining name 'jdbc/appsmDS'

How can I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

The problem in this case is probably that the datasource is not deployed in the "server" inside weblogic domain.

Answer 2

when looking up the DS the full JNDI structure maps to java:jdbc/appsmsDS.

Please use it for lookup.

Answer 3

This exception happens when the property provider.url is pointing at the AdminServer (localhost:7001, in my case) and JDBC is not installed.

You may have other instances where it is installed, check your JNDI TREE to verify this.
