JasperSoft Studio JNDI connection

[jason.symons]

Hi All,

I am having trouble connecting Jaspersoft studio to a MySQL database using JNDI, can anyone help?

I am running JasperReports server, and the datasource has been created in the repository. I can connect Studio to Server to publish reports, use domains etc. but I would like to be able to query the database directly. Reports will be published on the server.

So, I have been trying to create a JNDI data adapter to connect to the source wihtin the server reposotiory. Is this possible? Is it the right thing to do?

I have tried the JNDI name of "repo:/organizations/organization_1/Data_sources/[mySQLdatabasename]", but I get the following error:

java.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial

Where am i going wrong? Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks Jason
