Not able to lookup datasource configured in jboss 7.x using Spring JNDIObjectfactorybean

Question

I have configured datasource in Jboss 7.x as below:

 <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:datasources:1.1">
        <datasources>
            <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/MyWebAppDS" pool-name="MyWebAppDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
                <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;database=sa1p</connection-url>
                <driver>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver>
                <security>
                    <user-name>sa</user-name>
                    <password>sa1</password>
                </security>
            </datasource>
        </datasources>
    </subsystem>

then in my spring application I am using below code to look up datasource:

 <bean id="jndiDataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName">
        <value>java:jboss/datasources/MyWebAppDS</value>
    </property>
</bean>

but when I deploy the application I get below exception:

CreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jndiDataSource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method faile nested exception is *javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Error looking up* jboss/datasources/MyWebAppDS, service service *jboss.naming.context.java.jboss.datasources.MyWebAppDS is not started* at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1455) [spring-beans-3.1.

Am i missing anything here ?

Answer 1

I had missing dependencies which was causing failure to start JNDI service. I added sqljdbc4.jar %jboss-home%\modules\system\layers\base\com\microsoft\main which resolved my problem.
