JUnit Access DataSource from Context?

[gilgantic]

I am trying to run JUnit test case in my WebSphere Studio, but it fails
during a context.lookup in my DAO class. The DataSource is defined on
the server, so I start the Development Test Server. Here is a snippet
of the the code in my DAO class.

Context context = new InitialContext();
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) context.lookup("jdbc/sample");

Is it because my Dev Test Server and JUnit are using two different
JVMs? How do I solve this problem?

I think so although I've never understood why since JNDI is supposed to
be a network service.

How do I solve this problem?

I've been told, "use Cactus." You can also include the test classes in
the web app and drive them from JSPs with the app running in a test
environment.
