Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Thomas M Goerger <>]

From some docs I found on the web, I thought it might be faster to use a
JDBC connector instead of the JNDI.  However, when I try to use the JNDI
adaptor, I'm getting an initialization error trying to run the ant db-init
task.  Haven't seen any problems in my sources.xml file, but am still
getting the error.  Any ideas on why I might be getting this?

db.init:
     [java] Exception in thread "main"

initialize registry: unable to retrieve GrouperSystem: unable to get
