I have a struts application, deployed using tomcat 5, that uses database
pooling. I have a helper class called DAOhelper that encapsulates database
interactions. The problem I have is that the class only works during
application initialisation. I have an ApplicationInitaliser class that
extends Plugin. In this class I can use my DAOHelper to acces the database,
however the class does not work when invoked in an action.
The DAOhelper class contains the following method
private static DataSource getDataSource() throws DAOException
{
logger.debug(IConstants.ENTERING);
DataSource dataSource = null;
try
{
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
//Look up our data source
dataSource = (DataSource)envCtx.lookup("jdbc/Frontline");
logger.debug("DataSource retrieved successfully");
}
catch (NamingException e)
{
String errorMessage = IConstants.DATA_SOURCE_ERROR + " using context
jdbc/Frontline";
logger.error(errorMessage);
logger.error(e.getMessage(),e);
throw new DAOException(errorMessage,e);
}
logger.debug(IConstants.EXITING);
return dataSource;
}
The line Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); throws
a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException when the class is used inside an
action, but works fine during initialising in the init method.
The excpetion message is Name java:comp is not bound in this Context.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? What I don't understand is how I
can successfully get a connection from within my ApplicationInitialiser
class and cannot get an connetion within an action.
The complete clas listing is below.
