Hello: I am in a bind.
I am getting: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:770) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:153) at org.apache.naming.SelectorContext.lookup(SelectorContext.java:137) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351) at survey.db.SurveyConnection.getConnection(SurveyConnection.java:66) at util.LoadDropdownListener.loadAllCodes(LoadDropdownListener.java:137) at util.LoadDropdownListener.contextInitialized(LoadDropdownListener.java:78) when I add: <Resource name="jdbc/GFDataSource" auth="Container" type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource" factory="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory" connectionCachingEnabled="true" maxActive="30" maxIdle="2" maxWait="1000" username="GLP_S" password="gideupstg" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:3333:SID"/> to either server.xml (under <Server>), config/context.xml (under <Context>), or in META-INF/context.xml.
