[equinox-dev] RE: JNDI and OSGI 
Hi Simon,

No, I don't mind. I just did what you suggested

               Thread current = Thread.currentThread();
		ClassLoader old = current.getContextClassLoader();
		try {
			current.setContextClassLoader(BridgeServlet.class.getClassLoader());
			InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
			DataSource jtaDatasourceInst = 
(DataSource)context.lookup("java:/jdbc/WAFPATTERNSDATA");
			if(jtaDatasourceInst ==null)
				System.out.println("Could not find DataSource");
		} catch (Throwable e) {
			System.out.println("Could not find DataSource");
		} finally {
			current.setContextClassLoader(old);
		} 

and it works. It doesn't if you don't do the trick with the classloaders.
Now, we have another problem, or I guess we have because I haven't got to
test it. We are using Hibernate and probably hibernate will have the same
problems we have to find a DataSource. So, we will have to use AOP, or some
other trickery, to make it find the DataSource (I'm just guessing).   I'm
new to OSGi and I'm struggling  to adapt a Wicket based WEB development
framework (we are creating) to work in an OSGi environment...
    
Best regards,

Ernesto
