Name [jdbc/mydb] is not bound in this Context

Question

I see this question was raised several times already and I went through all of them. But I am still unable to fix my problem.

Could anyone help me pinpoint what I am

Answer 1

For those who use Tomcat with Bitronix, this will fix the problem:

The error indicates that no handler could be found for your datasource 'jdbc/mydb', so you'll need to make sure your tomcat server refers to your bitronix configuration files as needed.

In case you're using btm-config.properties and resources.properties files to configure the datasource, specify these two JVM arguments in tomcat:

(if you already used them, make sure your references are correct):

• btm.root
• bitronix.tm.configuration

e.g.

-Dbtm.root="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0.59" 
-Dbitronix.tm.configuration="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0.59\conf\btm-config.properties" 

Now, restart your server and check the log.
