<dataSource id="db2DB" jndiName="jdbc/db2DS" jdbcDriverRef="db2XADriver" containerAuthDataRef="db2AuthData" statementCacheSize="10" connectionManagerRef="db2CM" recoveryAuthDataRef="db2AuthData" type="javax.sql.XADataSource" >        <properties databaseName="HHUE" serverName="localhost" portNumber="60000" driverType="4"  />    </dataSource>​

Using the dataSource definition above the following code returns null for `ds1' (but dies not use the authData (which is afaik working as designed)):

public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;    @Resource(lookup = "jdbc/db2DS")    DataSource ds1;    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)            throws ServletException, IOException {        Statement stmt = null;        Connection con = null;        try {            // ds1 = (DataSource) new InitialContext().lookup("jdbc/db2DS");

However the following code returns a dataSource object for `ds1`:

public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;    // @Resource(lookup = "jdbc/db2DS")    DataSource ds1;    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)            throws ServletException, IOException {        Statement stmt = null;        Connection con = null;        try {            ds1 = (DataSource) new InitialContext().lookup("jdbc/db2DS");

Any help ob why the "@Resource" annotation does not work abd getting it working is much appreciated. Thanks!

I'd recommend checking the following 3 items:

1. The servlet is importing `jakarta.annotation.Resource` and not `javax.annotation.Resource`.  Jakarta EE 9.1 uses the `jakarta` version of the annotation class.
2. The WAR module does not contain a web.xml file with `metadata-complete` set to "true".  This disables annotation processing.
3. The application does not include a copy of the `jakarta.annotation.Resource` annotation.  If the application packages a copy of the annotation class, then it could be loaded with the application classloader and not recognized by the liberty server runtime.
