Hi Team,

I am working on upgrading project from 11.2 to 12.00 version and I have followed the steps mentioned on following URL for adding “Projects” feature:

> **[Add Workflow Process Management to a Project - Bloomreach Experience - Open...](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/12/library/enterprise/enterprise-features/workflow-process-management/add-workflow-process-management-to-a-project.html)**
>
> Open Source Enterprise Content Management

So after this I can see the “Projects” feature in the cms. I can create the Project in the cms but when I click on “Request Review” I am getting following error.

Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [jdbc/wpmDS] is not bound in this Context. Unable to find [jdbc].

I have added the ref in web.xml as well.

Could you please suggest some solution for that or What exactly the root cause for that?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Hello,

The exception you are encountering, `javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [jdbc/wpmDS] is not bound in this Context. Unable to find [jdbc].`, indicates that the `jdbc/wpmDS` data source is not correctly configured or is missing from the context in which your Spring application is running.

Please check on the below as part of trouble shooting:

- Check the Context Configuration
- Verify JNDI Lookup
- Deployment Contexts
- Dependencies and Libraries

By checking and ensuring that the data source is defined and accessible in the application context, and that the JNDI lookup is properly configured, you should be able to resolve the `NameNotFoundException`.
