Hi Sharman,

From the error message, the problem has to do with the JNDI lookup.
Though i haven't used weblogic server, the process should be the same.
All the same, never mind, Check this thread, alot was discussed about this topic and i think it should solve the problem.

The problem has to do with your classpath, if you are using windows, end the your classpath flag in the java with ;.

Have a lovely Day
