How to Setup Jndi with weblogic server

I am new to weblogic server.I have setup JNDI with tomcat server and it runing fine for me .But i have to setup JNDI with weblogic so please anyone help me where i have put
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/myPath" name="jdbc/myPath"
type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource" />
This code i.e in tomcat i have put this code in Context.xml file but not know where to add this in weblogic and this code also:
<Resource name="jdbc/myPath" auth="Container"
type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
factory="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory" url="url"
user="username" password="password" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
maxWait="10000" />
This code is in server.xml file of tomcat but not know where to put in weblogic.Please help me
Thanks

You go to http://localhost:7001/console/. The default credentials are weblogic/welcome1. Then you access the data sources section and create your data source.

TOMCAT 6 Problems with DataSourceFactory and SQLServerDriver

I'm working with TOMCAT6.
In the context.xml I changed the connection pool to tomcat jdbc connection pool. I dropped the dependent jars in the lib, added the factory to the context and all seems to work just fine until TOMCAT tries to lookup MS SQLServerDriver.
org.apache.naming.NamingContext lookup
WARNING: Unexpected exception resolving reference java.sql.SQLException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
I do not have this problem when I use the default Commons DBCP implementation (simply by removing the factory attribute).
Here is the resource definition within the Context.xml configuration
<Resource
RTentry="True" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory"
username="xxxx"
password="xxxx"
driverClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"
url="jdbc:sqlserver://MSSQL02\LIFETIME:49658;databaseName=MSSQL02_LT23"
maxActive="8"
maxIdle="4"
name="jdbc/LifetimeDB" />
Does anyone has a clue how this can happen?

connecting to derby database with tomcat as the server

How do i connect to derby database (that comes with the netbeans) ? I am using Tomcat as the server. Earlier i used the following statements to connect to the derby database,but then i used glassfish as the server.
Context context = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)context.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/PollDatasource");
Connection connection = ds.getConnection();
But now using Tomcat as the server i am unaware how to do this.
Note : Tomcat and Derby are pre installed with netbeans IDE that i am using currently

In Tomcat find conf/context.xml, then edit and write something like this:
<Resource name="jdbc/PollDatasource" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
driverClassName="com.YourDriver"
url="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/nameOfTheDatabase;create=true"
username="username" password="password" maxActive="20"
maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1" />
Note 1: With the above URL the driver will be org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver
Note 2 : You can also add the above information in META-INF/context.xml of your project. This becomes application specific.If you add the information in tomcat's context.xml that becomes global.
Note 3: Download the jar from this website.Download db-derby-10.9.1.0-bin.zip.It contains many files, including derby.jar and derbyclient.jar (along with much documentation).derbyclient.jar contains our friend org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver.class. derby.jar contains org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver. Keep the downloaded jar in lib folder of Tomcat.
and in your application web.xml "resource-ref":
<resource-ref>
<description>my connection</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/PollDatasource</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
You may want to look at these questions :
Isn't it necessary to mention the name of archive in the Resource tag?
When is the tag I added in context.xml gets read?
What are steps followed in the look-up? what is looked first web.xml or context.xml?

You need to:
1) Copy your derbyclient-*.jar to ${TOMCAT_HOME}/lib.
2) Edit your server.xml and add the following lines to the section GlobalNamingResources:
<Resource auth="Container"
driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
maxActive="8" maxIdle="4"
name="jdbc/my-ds" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
url="jdbc:derby:mydb;create=true"
username="myuser" password="mypassword" />
3) In your context definition, add:
<Context docBase="myapp"
path="/myapp"
reloadable="true"
...>
<ResourceLink name="jdbc/my-ds"
global="jdbc/my-ds"
type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
</Context>
4) Restart Tomcat.

The example you have requires JNDI. See the relevant tomcat versions docs on setting that up.
Or use a connection string, here's a page from derby docs http://db.apache.org/derby/integrate/plugin_help/derby_app.html

Tomcat JNDI resource for Datanucleus (JDO)

I have developed an application on Tomcat 7.0 that uses Datanucleus / JDO to access to a database. I currently have the JDO connection properties stored in the "datanucleus.properties" located in the application itself. The connection is working fine, but I would like to store the connection information as JNDI, to have it on the server and no longer in the war itself (I always have to replace the file in the war when deploying it remotely).
I tried the following:
Create a in the web.xml of the application (jdbc/ConnectionDB)
In "Server.xml", I tried to add the following the context of my application
<Resource name="jdbc/ConnectionDB" auth="Container" type="javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactory" /> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/ConnectionDB
<parameter>
<name>javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass</name>
<value>org.datanucleus.api.jdo.JDOPersistenceManagerFactory</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name>
<value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>
<value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/TomcatTest</value>
</parameter>
...
I then try to create a new PMF with the following syntax:
Context context = null;
PersistenceManagerFactory pmf = JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory("java:comp/env/jdbc/ConnectionDB",context);
When I run my application, I get a javax.jdo.JDOUserException: You have either specified for this PMF to use a "persistence-unit" of "datanucleus.properties" (yet this doesnt exist!)
I don't really understand what is wrong in my setup.

Marcel

I finally found the solution I was looking for, I post it here, it might help somebody else:
Create a resource in "Context.xml" file of the server
<Resource name="jdbc/SyncTestDB"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100"
maxIdle="30"
maxWait="10000"
username="root"
password="mysql"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/SyncTestDB"/>
Create a reference to that resource in the "web.xml" file of your application
<resource-ref>
<description>MySQL Database Connection</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/SyncTestDB</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
And finally get a Persistence Manager Factory using the JNDI connection:
PersistenceManagerFactory pmf;
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("datanucleus.ConnectionFactoryName","java:comp/env/jdbc/SyncTestDB");

Read the javadoc for JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory(String) and it is obviously not for passing in some JNDI data source string.
Read the docs for Tomcat and you will also see that specifying a datasource you do not provide JDO connection details.
You can equally specify a persistence.xml with that JNDI string for the "javax.jdo.option.ConnectionFactoryName" property. As per the JDO spec and DataNucleus/Tomcat docs then

tomcat oracle datasource

I have apache tomcat 5.5.28 on my windows box and I am trying to deploy a web application (WAR) which works fine on other servers.
However I am having trouble creating a datasource. I am not sure of the format. The db is oracle.
Here is what I have in server.xml.
<GlobalNamingResources>
<Environment
name="simpleValue"
type="java.lang.Integer"
value="30"/>
<Resource
name="tomdb11"
type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
maxActive="4"
maxIdle="2"
username="tomdb11"
maxWait="5000"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
validationQuery="select * from dual"
password="remotedb11"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#dbserver:1521:orcl"/>
<Resource
auth="Container"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
name="UserDatabase"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml"/>
</GlobalNamingResources>
How do I access this in the web.xml where usually what I have which works in other servers is
<context-param>
<param-name>databaseUser</param-name>
<param-value>tomdb11</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>databasePassword</param-name>
<param-value>tomdb11</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>databaseSchema</param-name>
<param-value>TOMDBADMINN11</param-value>
</context-param>
Also am I missing something?
Edit: I get the following exception:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name tomdb11 is not bound in this Context
at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:770)
at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:153)
at org.apache.naming.SelectorContext.lookup(SelectorContext.java:137)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(Unknown Source)
at com.taw.database.DatabaseService.<init>(DatabaseService.java:19)
at com.taw.database.DatabaseServices.init(DatabaseServices.java:40)

If exception tells that it cannot find jdbc in the JNDI context, then it roughly means that you tried to obtain the DataSource as follows
dataSource = new InitialContext().lookup("jdbc/tomdb11");
while your server.xml file tells the following:
<Resource
name="tomdb11"
>
Those names are not the same. In fact, you should have been used:
dataSource = new InitialContext().lookup("tomdb11");
In Tomcat, however, the InitialContext doesn't directly point to java:comp/env/, so you'll need to replace it by:
dataSource = new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/tomdb11");
The normal practice, however, is that you specify JDBC datasources with the jdbc prefix. So I would rename the resource as
<Resource
name="jdbc/tomdb11"
>
and access it by
dataSource = new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/tomdb11");
In the webapp's web.xml you should however also have the following resource declaration:
<resource-env-ref>
<resource-env-ref-name>jdbc/tomdb11</resource-env-ref-name>
<resource-env-ref-type>javax.sql.DataSource</resource-env-ref-type>
</resource-env-ref>
For more details about Tomcat JNDI check this HOWTO: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html. Hope this helps.

First... Make sure you have an Oracle JDBC Jar in your $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib.
Second... Make sure your web.xml also contains a block like this...
<resource-ref>
<description>Oracle Datasource</description>
<res-ref-name>tomdb11</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
</resource-ref>
As for your <context-param>, I'm not sure that is doing anything as you already have those things defined in your <Resource>.
