Weblogic javax.naming.NameNotFoundException while running application

The problem in this case is probably that the datasource is not deployed in the "server" inside weblogic domain.

when looking up the DS the full JNDI structure maps to java:jdbc/appsmsDS.

Please use it for lookup.

This exception happens when the property provider.url is pointing at the AdminServer (localhost:7001, in my case) and JDBC is not installed.

You may have other instances where it is installed, check your JNDI TREE to verify this.
