I'm trying to access the Cold Fusion DSN from Java in MX 6.1. I've done it in 6.0 before by using the InitialContext object and doing a lookup on the DSN name...but it's not able to find the binding in 6.1. Has anyone else done this?

DSNs are only for people who are new to CFMX. Since CFMX is now a J2EE app they stopped using them. The DSNs inside the Admin are just a easier way the edit an XML file and makes it fool proof.
Without downloading anything try to follow the example given
http://www.geocities.com/empiricallyspeaking/MySQL.html
the Object:
<cfset Object_test = CreateObject("java", "mySQL_connection_test")>
the connection:
<cfset connected_I_hope = Object_test.connect
("mysql.jodoshared.com", <!--- host --->
"3306", <!--- port --->
"helloworld_db", <!--- database --->
"your_user", <!--- user_name ---->
"your_password" <!--- password ---->)>
myData now has your data
<cfset myData = connected_I_hope.executeQuery("Select * from this_table")>
You need next() because the first row is metadata
<cfset myData.next()>
<cfset Data = myData.getString("ColumnName")>
Done. Of course you can use getInt(1) or any of the other
50 methods.
