Hello all power users.

I have been fooled by Birt. I thought I had successfully used jndi settings but it is the report that has always been holding sufficient info to use standard jdbc connection.

I am using Birt 3.6.2 and Birt 3.7, either on windows or linux.

I have been trying to set a jndi url for my datasource.

Like anyone else I have been told to set url and some jdbc info and that jndi would be first to be checked on server.

It looks like it is not.
to avoid issues related to connection profiles I have set back to regular org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc connection.

I have set

odaDriverClass
odaURL
odaUser
odaPassword
odaJndiName

the jdbc is used

then I have been trying to clear some other property and found that url cannot be empty and drivermanager cannot parse jndi url, etc.
I also have tried to use java:comp/urljndi or the plain urljndi (which is jdbc/mysource). No luck so far.

I have tried to checkout hte code and to look at DriverManager but it seems that jndi lacks some info to work. Some initial context ? something else ? I cannot tell because the exception is never related to jndi. Only some "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" or "driver cannot parse"

Could any one point me to a working jndi setup ?
How could I help to make this work, even if it means patching 3.7 code ?

Thanks for any info on that issue.

Regards
Cyril

I am not a "power user", but this is what we set our odaJndiName when running BIRT under WebSphere:

java:comp/env/jdbc/xxx

xxx is the JNDI Name configured in WebSphere.

It's been a long time since I looked at this, but I thought the string was Application Server dependent (but I've been wrong before!).

Good luck

hello Rob

thank you for the answer

you are right it is

java:comp/env/jdbc/xxx already.

the urljndi I was referring to is valued this way. Still no jndi connection used.
Can you provide the datasource definition you are using ?

Anyone else have some idea ?

Regards
Cyril

Cyrill:

What Application server are you using? What version?

I think you just need the one property to make use of JNDI, but here is the info in our reports:

<oda-data-source extensionID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc" name="XXX_Profile" id="6">
<property name="odaDriverClass">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
<property name="odaURL">jdbc:oracle:thin:@My_DB_Server_DNS_Name:MyOracleSID</property>
<property name="odaUser">My_Oracle_user_id</property>
<encrypted-property name="odaPassword">My_password</encrypted-property>
<property name="odaJndiName">java:comp/env/jdbc/xxx</property>
</oda-data-source>


But I will make a slight correction to my previous post:

In WebSphere the value in odaJndiName is a Resource Reference which is then bound to the JNDI Name.

So in the web.xml I have:

<resource-ref id="ResourceRef_1">
<res-ref-name>jdbc/xxx</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>

And in the ibm-web-bnd.xmi I have this:

<resRefBindings xmi:id="ResourceRefBinding_2" jndiName="jdbc/prod/xxx">
<bindingResourceRef href="WEB-INF/web.xml#ResourceRef_1"/>
</resRefBindings>

So the actual JNDI name is: jdbc/prod/xxx

Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.

Cyril,

This seems like a configuration issue. Is the JNDI URL that you are using proven to work, like in other applications?
If you set the BIRT logging level to FINER, it will generate more informative trace logging on the JNDI processing.
If you want to grab the plugin source to debug, that would obviously be the most direct way to see what triggers the exception. Use the debugger to step thru the source in the JndiDataSource#getConnection method.
