Failed to look up JNDI DataSource

This problem may seems redundant but I can't find a suitable solution for my specific problem.
So, I have been using basic JDBC template to make connection to the DB tables in my spring boot application. I have few more features to add and I wanted to follow JPA route. I added spring.datasource.jndi-name and spring.jpa.database-platform to the application.properties file correctly(same as once that are working in my other applications).
Although I'm able to run the current application(with both JPA and JDBC connection) locally, I'm getting following error while building it on weblogic remote server.
org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaConfiguration': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/JndiDataSourceAutoConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.sql.DataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.lookup.DataSourceLookupFailureException: Failed to look up JNDI DataSource with name 'jdbc.myDataSource'; nested exception is javax.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
Can anyone help me with this ?

JNDI #Resource in Spring

I have a Java EE application with WildFly, and I use:
#Resource(lookup = "java:/jms/queue/MyQueue")
but now I am migrating part of this application to Spring one, and I have no idea how to look up for my JNDI resource.
In application.yaml I added:
spring:
datasource:
jndi-name: "java:jms/queue/MyQueue"
but it throws an error during startup:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'myRoute': Injection of resource dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Invalid bean definition with name 'java:/jms/queue/MyQueue' defined in JNDI environment: JNDI lookup failed; nested exception is javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial
MyRoute.java:
#Resource(lookup = "java:/jms/queue/MyQueue")
private Queue queue1;
Is it possible to easily inject the resource in Spring?
I wish it can work like #Autowired does. Inject the Queue with lookup into JNDI.

Tomcat work directory empty

My Spring project was successfully deployed on another Linux server. But when I tried deploying it on this Linux server, it won't deploy. When I go to the homepage, I get the error "HTTP Status 404 - The requested resource is not available".
I compared the Tomcat directory of both servers and see only differences in the "work" directory. On this server (the one having problem), under "work\Catalina\localhost\MyProject" directory of Tomcat, I see that it's empty. Turns out that the files got put under "work\Catalina\localhost\_" instead. What's causing Tomcat to do this?
In my tomcat log file, I'm getting this:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'SampleService': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.wdc.hydra.dao.DatatypeDAO com.wdc.hydra.service.DatatypeServiceImpl.datatypeDAO; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'SampleDAO': Injection of persistence dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'Sample' defined in class path resource [Sample-dao-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo.getValidationMode()Ljavax/persistence/ValidationMode;
Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

How does the Spring Container defined? whether its by XmlWebApplicationContext / FileSystemXmlApplicationContext / ClasspathXmlApplicationContext and if its through FileSystemXmlApplicationContext then your directory structure in both the linux servers should be same. like wise others too.

Roo project import error in eclipse(sts)

I get an error when I want to import my project to sts(eclipse). I generate this project with spring roo and its work an other laptop so I just want to import and run on tomcat server somebody know what is this, I watch the dependecies and this class is there (I use Windows):

I solved that it was an eclipse bug i restarted the eclipse and the application worked..

DispatcherServlet - Context initialization failed in Roo project

I develop a Roo project and deploy to a Tomcat 6 server.
Up until now everything was working fine.
I deleted and re-added an entity.
Now everytime when I start Tomcat I get this exception in the Spring Tool Suite:

What do I need to do to make it work again?

spring is complainig about a bean not being available (probably the one you say you deleted).
exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: myproject.web.ApplicationConversionServiceFactoryBean
try to search the config xml files & remove the reference made to this class, things should be back after that,

I had the same exact issue.
The problem was that I disabled the "Project > Build Automatically" feature, so I had to manually build the project.
Once I manually built the project everything went back to normal. :)
So, don't forget to build the project before deploying it, or just re-enable the "Project > Build Automatically" feature.
Hope it helps.

Your app deployed to Tomcat doesn't have a jar file in WEB-INF/lib that contains the class myproject.web.ApplicationConversionServiceFactoryBean. I don't know what that class is or where you'd find it, but it's missing.

my workaround (worked with eclipse and roo 1.1.5 as eclipse plugin)
open ApplicationConversionServiceFactoryBean.java class
delete class annotation #RooConversionService
wait for roo update
add back class annotation #RooConversionService
wait for roo update and try again

Inside of STS, click ->project->clean
It clean and discard all build problems and built states, The next time a build occurs the projects will be rebuilt from scratch.
