Hi,

I have to deploy the same war in glassfish 3.1 and AS 7.1 which normaly possible with the Java EE portability principle! So I need to create the same datasource with the same JNDI name in both AS 7.1 and glassfish 3.1. The problem is that AS 7.1 impose to me to start the datasource JNDI name by Java:/ or Java:jboss/ BUT glassfish don't accept a JNDI name containig *:* So I'm wondering why Jboss put this retriction?

Thanks in advance

Our development team uses maven jetty plugin for our local environment, and our production uses JBoss EAP 6.1

All you need to do is to create a jboss-web.xml in your WEB-INF with something like below:

<resource-ref>
        <res-ref-name>jdbc/MyDS</res-ref-name>
        <jndi-name>java:jboss/jdbc/MyDS</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>

In our web.xml we have something like this:

<resource-ref>
        <res-ref-name>jdbc/MyDS</res-ref-name>
        <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
        <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
