Spring Boot Using Embedded Tomcat with JNDI

Question

I am using Spring Boot with Embedded Tomcat and attempting to use JNDI but getting the following error:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [jdbc/dataSource]

Answer 1

You need to set lookupOnStartup to false on the JndiObjectFactoryBean.

Alternatively, if you need the lookup to work during startup, then this answer may be of interest.

Edit: you've also set the JNDI name on your JndiObjectFactory bean incorrectly. It needs to be java:comp/env/jdbc/myDataSource not jdbc/dataSource.

You use a different name when you're looking up the resource versus when you registered it as the registration automatically places the resource beneath java:comp/env/.

Answer 2

If you are using spring boot, no need for all of that class. It is already configured in @EnableAutoConfiguration or @SpringBootApplication

Just put the following in your application.properties file or equivalent in application.yml file

spring.datasource.driverClassName=JDBCDriverClassName
spring.datasource.url=databaseUrl
spring.datasource.username=databaseUsername
spring.datasource.password=databasePassword
spring.datasource.jndi-name=java:jdbc/dataSource
