Initialcontext in a standalone Java program

Question

I\'m using a JNDI for creating tomcat connection pool. It works great in a web application. I believe the InitialContext is provided by the tomcat server.

Here is an example adapted from the accepted answer but doing everything inline to avoid creating extra classes.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    setupInitialContext();
    //do something that looks up a datasource
}

private static void setupInitialContext() {
    try {
        NamingManager.setInitialContextFactoryBuilder(new InitialContextFactoryBuilder() {

            @Override
            public InitialContextFactory createInitialContextFactory(Hashtable environment) throws NamingException {
                return new InitialContextFactory() {

                    @Override
                    public Context getInitialContext(Hashtable environment) throws NamingException {
                        return new InitialContext(){

                            private Hashtable dataSources = new Hashtable<>();

                            @Override
                            public Object lookup(String name) throws NamingException {

                                if (dataSources.isEmpty()) { //init datasources
                                    MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource ds = new MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource();
                                    ds.setURL("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb");
                                    ds.setUser("mydbuser");
                                    ds.setPassword("mydbpass");
                                    dataSources.put("jdbc/mydbname", ds);

                                    //add more datasources to the list as necessary
                                }

                                if (dataSources.containsKey(name)) {
                                    return dataSources.get(name);
                                }

                                throw new NamingException("Unable to find datasource: "+name);
                            }
                        };
                    }

                };
            }

        });
    }
    catch (NamingException ne) {
        ne.printStackTrace();
    }
}
