JNDI error handling

SmokesMom

I have created a jdbc datasource using jndi in birt 2.1. I would like to "fake out" the database url and strictly use the jndi connection. I then want to catch any error when trying to connect through jndi and display an alternate error page/message to the end user. I'm not sure how to do this. Do I do it in the BIRT report designer using some kind of javascript in a beforeOpen or afterOpen event? Do I need to do it in my application that runs and renders the report? If so, where would I catch that exception? Any help would be appreciated. I have searched eclipse and the Birt exchange and haven't been able to find anything like this as of yet.

Thank you,

You can add the datasource with db URL, jndi url, and remove the properties you don't want to show as follows:

<data-sources>
<oda-data-source extensionID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc" name="My_Data Source" id="26">
<property name="odaJndiName">java:MyDataSource</property>
</oda-data-source>
</data-sources>
