I will now admit to having read many questions, answers, websites about this on and off for several months now in my attempt to create a Spring Boot app with embedded Tomcat (and deployable to an actual Tomcat) with a JNDI DataSource. After repeated failures I'm starting to think it's not even possible at all, it's just a big conspiracy!
In a last ditch attempt before I give up forever, I will now ask : how the **** do you actually get this to work?
Here's what I have so far: My main class:
@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class FinanceApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(FinanceApplication.class, args);
}
@Bean
public TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory tomcatFactory() {
return new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory() {
@Override
protected TomcatEmbeddedServletContainer getTomcatEmbeddedServletContainer(
Tomcat tomcat) {
tomcat.enableNaming();
return super.getTomcatEmbeddedServletContainer(tomcat);
}
@Override
protected void postProcessContext(Context context) {
ContextResource resource = new ContextResource();
resource.setName("jdbc/finance");
resource.setType(DataSource.class.getName());
resource.setProperty("driverClassName", "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
resource.setProperty("url", "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/finance");
resource.setProperty("username", "xxxx");
resource.setProperty("password", "yyyy");
context.getNamingResources().addResource(resource);
}
};
}
@Bean(destroyMethod="")
public DataSource jndiDataSource() throws IllegalArgumentException, NamingException {
JndiObjectFactoryBean bean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
bean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/finance");
bean.setProxyInterface(DataSource.class);
bean.setLookupOnStartup(false);
bean.afterPropertiesSet();
return (DataSource)bean.getObject();
}
}
My Servlet config (java based):
public class ServletInitializer extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(FinanceApplication.class);
}
}
I am using Maven, my pom.xml is based on this one
The problems:
When I run it in Eclipse, I get these exceptions (cut to the chase):
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean]: Factory method 'entityManagerFactory' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.jndi.JndiLookupFailureException: JndiObjectTargetSource failed to obtain new target object; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [comp/env/jdbc/finance] is not bound in this Context. Unable to find [comp].
When I deploy to a standalone Tomcat instance, using Maven, I get this exception:
