jndi database connection with jpa and eclipselink

Question

I try to setup a database connection in java with JNDI in combination with eclipseLink/JPA on Tomcat 5.5. I already configured the JNDI resource in web.xml and context.xml.

Answer 1

Just add the class JPAEclipseLinkSessionCustomizer to your project and configure the persistence.xml as shown below:

    org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider

    java:comp/env/jdbc/yourDs        

    
                
    

You need this workaround only for Apache Tomcat.
