I have created a data source name in Weblogic 10.3.6 as jdbc/appsmDS and the same name has been given in application to lookup.
However when I am trying to run application, I am getting the following error
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup 'jdbc/appsmDS'
didn't find subcontext 'jdbc'. Resolved ''; remaining name 'jdbc/appsmDS'
How can I resolve this issue?
when looking up the DS the full JNDI structure maps to java:jdbc/appsmsDS.
Please use it for lookup.
The problem in this case is probably that the datasource is not deployed in the "server" inside weblogic domain.
Please see this link: http://www.technicalconfessions.com/posts.php?post_id=178&title=Caused%20by:%20javax.naming.NameNotFoundException:%20Unable%20to%20resolve
This exception happens when the property provider.url is pointing at the AdminServer (localhost:7001, in my case) and JDBC is not installed.
You may have other instances where it is installed, check your JNDI TREE to verify this.

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: This will generally occur if any of the xml files like ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejbjar.xml are missing in the ear file deployed. The only workaround is to generate a fresh ear file with all the xml files included.
Make sure you have clicked on the "Activate Changes" button on the left top corner and also check your xxxxxxDataSource-nnnn-jdbc.xml file is created under config/jdbc directory.
