Re: indirect jndi lookup of resource

Hi,
This page in the documentation explains the error message and deprecation:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsdoc400/topic/com.ibm.websphere.iseries.doc/info/ae/ae/rdat_jnditips.html?resultof=%22%64%69%72%65%63%74%22%20%22%6c%6f%6f%6b%75%70%22%20

This page has a short description looking up a datasources relational DB
access and short example:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsdoc400/topic/com.ibm.websphere.iseries.doc/info/ae/ae/cdat_datsorres.html?resultof=%22%64%61%74%61%73%6f%75%72%63%65%22%20%22%64%61%74%61%73%6f%75%72%63%22%20%22%6c%6f%6f%6b%75%70%22%20
  The page has some appropriate related resource links at the bottom too I
think.

Here is an example from the documentation of using the indirect lookup
(excerpted from

How do I use an indirect jndi lookup of a datasource?  WAS 6 server
gives a warning that direct JNDI lookups are depreciated and I should be
using indirect lookups.  I tried the following code and still get the
warning.  Is there something I need to set up in the WAS server, like a
Connection Factory?  The code works, just gets the warning message in
the server logs.  The word 'indirect' tells me that I shouldn't be using
the datasource name in the application code, but I can't figure out the
correct code.

web-xml:

<resource-ref>
     <res-ref-name>jdbc/myds</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
     <res-auth>Application</res-auth>
     <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
  </resource-ref>

application code:
   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
   ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/myds");
