Through various Google searches, I've seen several references to the ClassCa
stException that is the subject of this thread.  Unfortunately, I haven't se
en a solution that cures the exception yet.

I'm not using any EJBs, just SQL in a class, using a datasource.

I've configured the datasource on the PortalServer (AIX 5.1 machine) exactly
 as it's configured in the test environment in WSAD, but no luck.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Andy

Did you find a solution for this? It seems we have the same problem when
lookup for the datasource defined at the WAS level (with a WPS)
Thank you,
Gabriela

Hi,

I had the same Exception.
The problem was that I had the Oracle Driver (classes12.zip) included in my 
EAR File. When I removed it from the EAR file (the Oracle Driver was then on
ly referred to in the JNDI definition of my datasource), then it worked well
.

regards
Stefan

There might be a problem whith datasource. There is an option "Use this data
source in Container managed persistance (CMP)" for predefined datasource.
We had the same exception trying to start our EAR. After we switched on the 
option, application successfully started.

I haven't seen the entire stack trace, so I'm grasping at straws here:  Did 
you properly reference your DataSource in the ibm-web-bnd.xmi file?  In RAD,
 you can add resource references by editing your web deployment descriptor a
nd clicking on the "Referen
ces" tab at the bottom of the view.  Then just click "Add..." and select "Re
source Reference" or "Resource Environment Reference" as appropriate.

Hi,
I am facing a similar problem and i am not able to solve it .
The code is 

private final static String DATASOURCE_NAME  = "jdbc/MyDataSource";
private DB2DataSource dataSource;

               // Create a starting context for naming operations
                InitialContext registry = new InitialContext();
                //dataSource = (DB2DataSource) registry.lookup(DATASOURCE_NA
ME);

                // instead of doing at 1 go , have done it in 2 steps 

                 java.lang.Object obj = registry.lookup(DATASOURCE_NAME);
                 dataSource = (DB2DataSource) obj;

here when I am casting the object to a DB2DataSource it is giving 
"java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ibm.ws.rsadapter.jdbc.WSJdbcDataSource" e
rror 

when I change the DB2DataSource to plain DataSource ..it is working fine .
I need the DB2DataSource object explicitly.
Can anybody help me out on this ?


Thanks in advance ,
Dheeraj
