How do you create a JNDI?
These three steps to configure and run a JNDI Datasource Connection pool for any Java Web application:
- Configure data source in Server and create JNDI name.
- Configure web.xml.
- Configure Spring bean with JNDI Datasource.
- Include JDBC driver library on Server lib e.g. tomcat/lib.
What is javax SQL DataSource?
