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?

can you try looking up java:jdbc/appsmDS – Nickey

@Nickey with java:jdbc/appsmDS I was able to run application, so it has to be java:jdbc/appsmDS? – Annunciation

yes , when looking up the full JNDI structure maps to java:jdbc/appsmsDS. Posting all of it as answer kindly accept – Nickey

@Nickey Kindly post as an answer I will be glad to accept it. – Annunciation

Plese see my answer also https://mcmap.net/q/894160/-unable-to-access-weblogic-datasource-from-java-with-prefix-jdbc . My problem was that the local sql server service was stopped. – Edva

Answer 1

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

Please use it for lookup.

Answer 2

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

I'm sorry but that link doesn't seem to point to the right post. – Bellanca

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.

Answer 4

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: This will generally occur if any of the xml files like ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejbjar.xml are missing in the ear file deployed. The only workaround is to generate a fresh ear file with all the xml files included.

Make sure you have clicked on the "Activate Changes" button on the left top corner and also check your xxxxxxDataSource-nnnn-jdbc.xml file is created under config/jdbc directory.
