How to set up JNDI with LAC on Weblogic?

Environment

CA Live API Creator - 5.1 

Resolution

On WebLogic, the war file needs to be altered to connect with the JNDI data source. 

1 - Make a copy of the LAC war file (let's call it LAC.war)
2 - Extract the web.xml file: 
         jar xvf LAC.war WEB-INF/web.xml
3 - Edit the WEB-INF/web.xml file to include the following section AFTER the </welcome-file-list> line (adjust the res-ref-name to correspond to the JNDI name defined in WebLogic):

<resource-ref>
  <description>Example JNDI</description>
  <res-ref-name>jdbc/MyDB</res-ref-name>
  <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
  <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>

4 - Put the web.xml file back into the war file:
      jar uvf LAC.war WEB-INF/web.xml

The updated war file can now be deployed into WebLogic. If you need to access additional JNDI data sources, you can just add additional resource-ref sections to the web.xml file.

Also, current, the step is written in the document.
