NameNotFoundException: Can't see my datasource

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

I decided to upgrade to the CVS version after running 2.14 for a few days. I'm running into a very strange problem however.

Everything ran relatively fine when I downloaded and installed the stable version. Now I'm getting a NameNotFoundException when the forum tries to start up.

Environment:

App Server: JBoss 4.0.3RC2
Java: JDK 1.5.0
OS: Both Mac OS 10.4 and Debian Linux
DB: PostgreSQL 8.0


As you can see from my JBoss JMX Console, the data source "jdbc/forum-ds" is bound:

jboss.jdbc

datasource=DefaultDS,service=metadata
datasource=jdbc/forum-ds,service=metadata
datasource=jdbc/mysql-datasource,service=metadata
datasource=jdbc/postgres-ds,service=metadata
service=SQLExceptionProcessor
service=metadata

Here's part of my SystemGlobals.properties:

#####################
# DATABASE SETTINGS
#####################
# Database type to use
database.driver.name=postgresql

# Can be net.jforum.SimpleConnection, net.jforum.PooledConnection 
# or net.jforum.DataSourceConnection
database.connection.implementation = net.jforum.DataSourceConnection

# Enable / Disable transactions
database.use.transactions = true

# DataSource name, in case of using net.jforum.DataSourceConnection
database.datasource.name = java:jdbc/forum-ds

I even added a debug statement to DataSourceConnection.java, but it's truncating the JNDI name of my datasource. I've even tried changing the JNDI name. Nothing seems to work.

The same datasource worked before I grabbed the code from CVS. What a am I doing wrong?

I've added the issue to Jira. Sorry about the double- and cross-posting.

instead of

java:jdbc/forum-ds

try changing the name to just

java:/forum-ds

I had similar problems with this jdbc/ thing too
