I'm having trouble getting a Spring/Tomcat app to resolve a variable which appears as a property of a JndiFactoryObjectName bean in the application context. Here's the relevant bean entry:
When I try to run it on the server, it comes up with this error:
Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name search.url is not bound in this Context
This entry in server.xml doesn't seem to help:
There's also an entry in (as seen from Eclipse/STS)
Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost
Catalina
localhost
ROOT.xml
<Context path="" reloadable="true" docBase="C:/myworkspace32/myAppName/WebContent">
<ResourceLink global="search.url" name="search.url" type="java.lang.String"/>
</Context>
However, this seem to have no impact.
Here are the steps to access JNDI resource from tomcat
Create jndi resource in server.xml
<Resource global="search.url" name="search.url" type="java.lang.String" />
Create the link in context.xml so that its accessible by all the web application.
<ResourceLink name="search.url" global="search.url" auth="Container" type="java.lang.String" />
Use spring bean or jee tag to inject the jndi
<bean id="searchUrl" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/env/search.url"/>
</bean>
you can avoid specify the environment by using jee contatiner tag as follows
<jee:jndi-lookup id="searchUrl" jndi-name="search.url" expected-type="java.lang.String" />
Follow an example of Tomcat JNDI with Spring
Spring configuration
