I'm trying to track down the reason why a portion of my application stopped working all of a sudden. I'm running Spring 1 with Weblogic 8.1.4.0 and Hibernate. The report generator is the part that has failed, first on our production server, then on the dev and qa servers on Friday while I was experimenting. I made no changes to the code, but I'm now getting a Missing Data Source exception on the compile statement of a mapping query. The only thing that changed was a couple of records in the database, but they were fairly simple changes that I doubt would have had an impact. I also got the following error from Friday around the time that the two development apps may have failed:
Here is the error in the logs from development server:
04-06 14:31:34 ERROR [main] org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'myDataSource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is javax.naming.LinkException:
And there is a similar one about 10 minutes later from when I deployed to the QA server.
It is referring to a datasource and connection pool defined in WebLogic. I have checked and tested the connection, and there doesn't seem to be any problems with it.
What could possibly be going on that would have caused this? I even reverted back to a build from last week to make sure it was not a code change, but the same datasource required exception occurs:
04-07 16:15:04 DEBUG [ExecuteThread: '14' for queue: 'default'] org.eei.survey.data.RegionDataDAO$NERCRegionMappingQuery: RdbmsOperation with SQL [{call prc_NERCRegions_get}] compiled

Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Here is the full stacktrace of the error:
