Spring Boot 2 Embedded Tomcat Jndi Datasource Configuration

Question

Good morning in my timezone

I already have follow this two Stack Overflow questions :

Spring Boot Using Embedded Tomcat with JNDI

and

Howto use JNDI database connection with Spring Boot and Spring Data using embedded Tomcat?

And none have worked. I am using Spring Boot 2. I want to configure embedded Tomcat Server to work with JNDI. I have try to approaches :

Snippet of code :

 @SpringBootApplication 
   public class MyApplication {

    public static void main ...


    @Bean   
   public ServletWebServerFactory servletContainer() {      TomcatServletWebServerFactory tomcat = new TomcatServletWebServerFactory() {


     @Override          
     protected void postProcessContext(Context context) {
                    ContextResource resource = new ContextResource();
                    resource.setName("jdbc/CCC");
                    resource.setType(DataSource.class.getName());
                    resource.setProperty("driverClassName", "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
                    resource.setProperty("url", "jdbc:oracle:thin:@a77k11111188.tt.ddd.test:3000:BHJR00TT00");
                    resource.setProperty("username", "user");
                    resource.setProperty("password", "pass");
                    context.getNamingResources().addResource(resource);             }

     @Override          
    protected TomcatWebServer getTomcatWebServer(Tomcat tomcat){
                    tomcat.enableNaming();
                    TomcatWebServer container =  super.getTomcatWebServer(tomcat);
                    for(Container child  :container.getTomcat().getHost().findChildren()){
                        if (child instanceof Context) {
                            ClassLoader contextClassLoader = ((Context)child).getLoader().getClassLoader();
                            Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(contextClassLoader);
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                    return container;           }

            };      return tomcat;

An then use the application.properties

spring.datasource.jndi-name=java:comp/env/jdbc/CCC

Error log: Unable to start embedded Tomcat
Error creating bean with name 'servletEndpointRegistrar'
Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' DataSourceLookupFailureException: Failed to look up JNDI DataSource with name 'java:comp/env/jdbc/CCC'
.NamingException: Could not create resource factory instance

ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSourceFactory

Instead if i not use the application properties and i configure the datasource bean directly in the Spring Boot Application like this

@Bean(destroyMethod = "")
    public DataSource jndiDataSource() throws IllegalArgumentException, NamingException {
        JndiObjectFactoryBean bean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
        bean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/CCC");
        bean.setProxyInterface(DataSource.class);
        bean.setLookupOnStartup(false);
        bean.afterPropertiesSet();
        return (DataSource) bean.getObject();
    }

The error log
UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory'
BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jpaVendorAdapter'

JndiLookupFailureException: JndiObjectTargetSource failed to obtain new target object
NamingException: Could not create resource factory instance

In my pom i have the following dependecies

 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
     <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
     <artifactId>ojdbc7</artifactId>
     <version>12.1.0.2</version>
   </dependency>
 <dependency>
     <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
     <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
  </dependency>

I am out of solutions Thanks in advance Best regards

I was also facing the same issue and most of the example on internet was using TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory however after trying several things finally i was able to get jndi connection in my application.

I am still figuring out exact root cause of the problem but following is the code for your reference.

@SpringBootApplication
public class MybatisJNDISampleApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MybatisJNDISampleApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public TomcatServletWebServerFactory tomcatFactory() {
        return new TomcatServletWebServerFactory() {
            @Override
            protected TomcatWebServer getTomcatWebServer(org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat tomcat) {
                tomcat.enableNaming();
                return super.getTomcatWebServer(tomcat);
            }

            @Override
            protected void postProcessContext(Context context) {
                ContextResource resource = new ContextResource();           
                //resource.setProperty("factory", "org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory");
                resource.setName("jdbc/myDatasourceName");
                resource.setType(DataSource.class.getName());
                resource.setProperty("driverClassName", "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
                resource.setProperty("url", "db_url");
                resource.setProperty("username", "db_username");
                resource.setProperty("password", "db_password");
                context.getNamingResources().addResource(resource);
            }
        };
    }
}

Following is my configuration class :

@Configuration
@MapperScan("com.sample.mybatis")
public class DataConfig {

    public final String MAPPER_LOCATIONS_PATH = "classpath:mybatis-mappers/*.xml";

    @Bean(destroyMethod="")
    public DataSource dataSource() throws IllegalArgumentException, NamingException {
        JndiObjectFactoryBean bean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
        bean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/myDatasourceName");
        //bean.setResourceRef(true); // this was previously uncommented
        bean.setProxyInterface(DataSource.class);
        //bean.setLookupOnStartup(false); // this was previously uncommented
        bean.afterPropertiesSet();
        return (DataSource)bean.getObject();
    }

    @Bean
    public DataSourceTransactionManager transactionManager() throws NamingException {
        return new DataSourceTransactionManager(dataSource());
    }

    @Bean
    public SqlSessionFactory sqlSessionFactory() throws Exception {
        SqlSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new SqlSessionFactoryBean();
        configureSqlSessionFactory(sessionFactory, dataSource());
        return sessionFactory.getObject();
    }

    public void configureSqlSessionFactory(SqlSessionFactoryBean sessionFactoryBean, DataSource dataSource) throws IOException {
        PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver pathResolver = new PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver();
        sessionFactoryBean.setDataSource(dataSource);
        sessionFactoryBean.setMapperLocations(pathResolver.getResources(MAPPER_LOCATIONS_PATH));
    }
}

Hope this helps you to resolve your issue.
