Hi everyone,

I am trying to configure a JNDI for my report design so it can dynamically load the database properties from a JNDI file (.xml extension) which is already been used by my application and deployed under jboss deploy directory.

I am using BIRT RCP REPORT DESIGNER 3.7.1 and i have been trying to achieve this for over two days now.

Any help would be appreciated guys

Thanks a lot

Tony

I assume you do not want to use the connection profile mechanisms which
store the connection properties in a file. How do you read the jndi
properties in your current application. You should be able to write
similar code in the property binding expression for the data source.

Thanks for the reply Jason,

It is solved now. I am not using the connection profile. My application uses the JNDI file deployed under JBOSS through the hibernate configuration file using this property "<property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">java:jndiName</property>" under the session factory configuration.

So i used the same "java:jndiName" for the jndi URL in the rcp designer under the data source editing window and that worked well. All i have to specify is the driver class, which in my case is "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver (v5.1)".

We have to note that at this point, i cannot test the connection. This will only be validated while using the design in production.
