Env :

WSAD 5.1

DB2 v7



Server : WTE v5 (bulitin WSAD5.1)

DataSource : myDS

jndi name : jdbc/myDS



Server started : name server port : 2809



// standalone java program code -------------



try{

Properties prop = new Properties();

prop.put(INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");

props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"iiop://localhost:2809");

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);

DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/myDS");



/*tried DataSource ds = javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow( (new InitialContext(props)).lookup("jdbc/TrainDS"),
javajavax.sql.DataSource.class); */




}catch(Exception e){

System.out.println(e); }



output :



ClassCastException : javax.naming.Reference



changed code to



Object ds = ctx.lookup("jdbc/myDS");

System.out.println(ds.getClass());


prints 'javax.naming.Reference'




An object is being returned, but not of type DataSource. I have no clue what type the object is refering to.



Any clues ?? Am I facing compatibility issues with DB2 v7 ?


Any idea?




Thanks. nitiN.
