Why datasource is not found in JNDI after injection from jndi.properties?

Question

This is my persistence.xml:

<persistence>
  <persistence-unit name="MyUnit">
    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
    <jta-data-source>jdbc/abcDS</jta-data-source>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

This is jndi.properties file from src/test/resources which is supposed to create a datasource during testing, since a real application server with a real datasource is absent:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.apache.openejb.client.LocalInitialContextFactory
jdbc/abcDS=new://Resource?type=DataSource
jdbc/abcDS.JdbcDriver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
jdbc/abcDS.JdbcUrl=jdbc:hsqldb:mem:testdb
jdbc/abcDS.JtaManaged=true
jdbc/abcDS.DefaultAutoCommit=false
jdbc/abcDS.UserName=sa
jdbc/abcDS.Password=

This is the test class:

public class FinderTest {
  @BeforeClass
  public static void startEJB() throws Exception {
    InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
    ic.lookup("jdbc/abcDS");
  }
}

Unfortunately, the datasource is not created and this is what I keep seeing:

[...]
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name "jdbc/abcDS" not found.
at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.naming.IvmContext.federate(IvmContext.java:193)
at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.naming.IvmContext.lookup(IvmContext.java:150)
at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.naming.IvmContext.lookup(IvmContext.java:124)
at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.naming.ContextWrapper.lookup(ContextWrapper.java:115)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:392)
at com.XXX.FinderTest.startEJB(FinderTest.java:31)
[...]

What am I doing wrong? Please help!

ps. By the way it works this way (what's going on???):

ic.lookup("java:/openejb/Resource/jdbc/abcDS");

@Thorbjørn There is no "server", it's a test running cycle.. Actually, it's an embedded OpenEJB instead of a real application server. – Stagner

Should be found if you lookup openejb:Resource/jdbc/abcDS

As well you can get injection in your TestCase. Basically, you:

1. add an empty src/test/resources/META-INF/application-client.xml or ejb-jar.xml
2. Annotate your test with @LocalClient
3. Call initialContext.bind("inject", this)

See the testcase-injection example in the examples.zip

EDIT If the lookup still fails, post your log output (the console output).
