HI
  I am trying to do a jndi look up for datasource from a standalone java client. The code for the same and printstack is as stated below.

Code
***********************
try
{
java.util.Hashtable parms = new java.util.Hashtable();
parms.put(
 Context.PROVIDER_URL, "IIOP://10.10.50.175:900/" );
parms.put (Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.ibm.ejs.ns.jndi.CNInitialContextFactory");
           
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(parms);
        
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("sbcdatasource");
System.out.println("ds ::: " + ds);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception e " + e.getClass().getName());
System.out.println("Exception e " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}

Stack trace
************************
Exception e java.lang.ClassCastException
Exception e com.ibm.ws.naming.util.CacheableReference
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ibm.ws.naming.util.CacheableReference at com.metlife.renewal.datasource.RenewalConnection.createConnectionPool(RenewalConnection.java:108)at com.metlife.renewal.batch.BatchProcess.processRunOnce(BatchProcess.java:159)at com.metlife.renewal.batch.BatchProcess.startProcess(BatchProcess.java:73) at com.metlife.renewal.batch.BatchProcess.main(BatchProcess.java:52)

Solution for the problem. set CLASSPATH for \WebSphere\AppServer\lib\namingclient.jar, \WebSphere\AppServer\lib\cmImpl.jar, \WebSphere\AppServer\lib\j2cImpl.jar, \WebSphere\AppServer\properties
 and Use IBM JDK in \WebSphere\AppServer\java. It is working for me.
