  Just a note on what I mention in my previous email below. The reason
  "java:/APPLDB" works in JBoss is they are letting you lookup a
  datasource you haven't declared a reference to in your ejb-jar.xml.
  This is completely against the spec and results in non-portable
  apps. I will note you can do this OpenEJB too -- we're not the kind
  to tell you what you can and can't do. The name you use to lookup a
  non-declared datasource is:
  new InitialContext().lookup("java:openejb/connector/Default JDBC
  Database");
  or in your case:
  new InitialContext().lookup("java:openejb/connector/APPLDB");
  So we do support this non-standard practice, but we put it under
  "java:openejb" so you are absolutely aware you are using a vendor
  specific feature, rather than putting them at "java:/APPLDB" which
  someone who doesn't read the spec everyday would totally think is a
  fine, portable, thing to do when in fact it's a vendor lock-in.
  We don't really encourage people to use it as there's little upside
  in it for you, but it is supported. You'll notice that the path
  "openejb/connector/[ConnectorName]" also matches the exact xml
  structure of the openejb configuration file:
  <openejb>
  ...
  <Connector id="APPLDB">
  ...
  You can actually lookup a number of things from the "java:openejb"
  namespace, though we don't advertise it or really encourage it. But
  you can if you like :)
