Exactly why this was getting this particular error message, I don't know. However, it appears that it was having a problem picking up the mysql connector. I put that in the default domain lib\ext folder and now it works.

When I try to ping a connection pool using the glassfish admin tool in our development environment, it returns the message "an error has occurred: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory " I know this is found in JBOSS as part of its JNDI implementation. I do not have this error on my local machine using the exact same connection pool setup. I've searched some information on this but cannot find an answer. I am using MySQL as the database.
