Spring boot JNDI datasource lookup failure - Name comp/env/jdbc not found in context "java:"

datasource war jndi spring-boot websphere-8

I have setup a spring boot (v 1.1.9) application to deploy as a WAR file. And I'm trying to integrate this web application with an existing data service module (added as a maven dependency).

Environment trying to deploy: WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.4

The issue I'm facing is an application start-up failure when try to look-up a JNDI dataSource (jdbc/fileUploadDS) as below within the dependent data service module.

@Configuration
@Profile("prod")
public class JndiDataConfig implements DataConfig {

    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() throws NamingException {
          Context ctx = new InitialContext();
          return (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/fileUploadDS");
    }

}

My Spring Boot configuration:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "au.com.aiaa.fileupload.data.*", "demo" })
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class, DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class })
public class SampleApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(applicationClass, args);
    }

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        return application.sources(applicationClass);
    }

    private static Class<SampleApplication> applicationClass = SampleApplication.class;

    @Bean
    public static Properties fileUploadJndiProperties() throws NamingException {
        JndiObjectFactoryBean jndiFactoryBean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
        jndiFactoryBean.setJndiName("props/FileUploadProperties");
        jndiFactoryBean.setExpectedType(Properties.class);
        jndiFactoryBean.setLookupOnStartup(true);
        jndiFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet();
        return (Properties) jndiFactoryBean.getObject();
    }

}

Note that I'm able to lookup props/FileUploadProperties successfully. But failing to do the same for a datasource.

My doubt is it is trying to load a EmbeddedWebApplicationContext which is not what I want.

The stack trace is:

Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Factory method [public javax.sql.DataSource au.com.aiaa.fileupload.data.dao.configuration.JndiDataConfig.dataSource() throws javax.naming.NamingException] threw exception; nested exception is **javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name comp/env/jdbc not found in context "java:".**

What am I missing here? Even when I try to explicitly define the dataSource bean method in SampleApplication.java like below it fails with the same error.

@Bean
    public static DataSource dataSource() throws NamingException {
        JndiObjectFactoryBean jndiFactoryBean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
        jndiFactoryBean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/fileUploadDS");
        jndiFactoryBean.setExpectedType(DataSource.class);
        jndiFactoryBean.setLookupOnStartup(true);
        jndiFactoryBean.setResourceRef(true);
        jndiFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet();
        return (DataSource) jndiFactoryBean.getObject();
    }

I referred this and it says we need to set enableNaming() on servlet container? Can I do something similar for non-embedded web application context? Or is it purely a WAS 8.5 issue??

You need to have resource reference with jdbc/fileUploadDS name in your web.xml. And make sure it is bound to actual datasource name during installation or via ibm-web-bnd.xml file.

Definition in web.xml:

<resource-ref>
    <description />
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/fileUploadDS</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
    <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>

If you dont want to use web.xml, then in normal Java EE app you could just add in web component (servlet, filter) the following class annotation:

@Resource(name="jdbc/fileUploadDS", type=javax.sql.DataSource.class, lookup="jdbc/fileUploadDS")

but I'm not Spring-boot expert, so don't know, if it will work or is possible there.
