Can the the Database explorer be configured to use a JNDI datasource?

Checking on this for you…

Nope. Not really architected for this, and there has not been a big calling for it. Know of more people who want it?

I think that it isn’t important – database explorer is for development, but JNDI is for deployment (perfomance, connection pooling) – JNDI work in container only and I don’t know how You set it

Good points snpe

I tell you why I would like it, is that under the configuration DB2 I have [Mainframe with the a DB2 connect gateway in between me and the actual data] it is hard to get the database configuration working properly. But I have the APP server running correctly. Maybe it is just my configuration that is screwed up. I can live without it.

difranr,
Just to clarify we aren’t ignoring the request, it just goes on a list of things people want that is ranked by # of requests, so if more people get interested in this, we’ll definately look at it.

You can easy deploy application on APP server with JNDI – it is one line
in hibernate configuration
If You want develop on this configuration you can try find JDBC driver on APP servers (if exists)
If APP server export JNDI out of container (tomcat don’t ) it is possible make
driver (alias) with JNDI datasource, but I think that You have to find JDBC
driver

I got it working in 2 different ways. The problem had to do with DB2 being JNI based and they way we have it configured here at my work location.

I now have it working via the native driver as wellas JDBC-ODBC bridge.

Glad to hear it.
