Hello. I try to use Lift 2.4-M4 Scala 2.9.1.

In Boot.scala i add such code:

DefaultConnectionIdentifier.jndiName = "jdbc/db"
logger.warn("JNDI connection available (manyally) ? " + (((new
InitialContext).lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/
db").asInstanceOf[DataSource]) != null))
logger.warn("JNDI connection available (lift) ? " +
DB.jndiJdbcConnAvailable_?)

And in logs i see:

10:56:55.531 [main] WARN bootstrap.liftweb.Boot - JNDI connection
available (manyally) ? true
10:56:55.546 [main] WARN bootstrap.liftweb.Boot - JNDI connection
available (lift) ? false
10:56:55.718 [ForkJoinPool-1-worker-2] INFO
o.a.sshd.common.util.SecurityUtils - BouncyCastle not registered,
using the default JCE provider
2011-09-12 10:56:55.953:INFO:oejs.AbstractConnector:Started
SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:8080 STARTING

Therefore i cannot use jndi with DB object. Can anyone suggest
workaround or said where i can be wrong?

For me problems in two methods:

def jndiJdbcConnAvailable_? : Boolean = {
try {
((new InitialContext).lookup("java:/comp/
env").asInstanceOf[Context].lookup(DefaultConnectionIdentifier.jndiName).asInstanceOf[DataSource].getConnection) !
= null
} catch {
case e => false
}
}

And

private def newConnection(name: ConnectionIdentifier): SuperConnection
= {
...
val conn = (new InitialContext).lookup("java:/comp/
env").asInstanceOf[Context].lookup(name.jndiName).asInstanceOf[DataSource].getConnection
....
ret.setAutoCommit(false)
ret
}

Forgot to add that i use xsbt 0.10.1 and Jetty 8 from Eclipse. I test
JNDI with java web application and it works.

I test application on Oracle Application Server 11g and get such logs:

JNDI connection available (lift) ? true
JNDI connection available (manyally) ? true

With glassfish 3.1 i get such results:

JNDI connection available (manyally) ? - instead of this i got exception

JNDI connection available (lift) ? false

For glassfish need to lookup in such way:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/sample");
