JNDI DataSource Configuration (Sun Java System Application Server with Duke Book Store Example)

[Cheok Yan Cheng]

In tomcat 5.x, in order to configure the JNDI DataSource (map the
resource reference name to database URL), we add the information
between the <Context> tag in file $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml.

However, when using Sun Java System Application Server, i have no idea
where it stores the JNDI DataSource information.

I try to have a look on Duke Book Store example comes with
j2eetutorial14. The database was created (is the resource reference
name "jdbc/BookDB also mapped to the database URL at this stage?) by
using "asant create-db_common".

however, all the steps is just like a black box by using asant
automated tool. i have exactly no idea what is the steps need to be
performed, in order to make jdbc/BookDB mapped to
jdbcointbase:server://${db.host}:${db.port}/${db.sid}

i try to check on the admin console, the JNDI->Custom Resources and
JNDI->External Resources are empty, does that mean the jdbc/BookDB
have not mapped to the database URL?

if yes, what step by step should i do in order to map the
"jdbc/BookDB" resource reference name to database URL?

thank you.
