I got it to work! The problem was that the context.xml had to be inside the
.war. (after pasting the context.xml to META-INF, I had to `jar -cf
continuum-webapp-1.1.war -C continuum-webapp-1.1 .`)
The context.xml I used was:
<Context>
<Resource name="jdbc/users"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="sa"
password=""
driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
url="jdbc:derby:database/users;create=true" />
<Resource name="jdbc/continuum"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="sa"
password=""
driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
url="jdbc:derby:database/continuum;create=true" />
<Resource name="mail/Session"
auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.smtp.host="localhost"/>
</Context>
However, I also got it to work using <Context path="/some-erraneous-value"
docBase="some-other-erraneous-value">. As far as I understand, path and
docBase are ignored when they're read from META-INF.
Is this really the most recommended way of setting JNDI? Putting the
context.xml into META-INF and re-packaging the .war?
Thank you,
