Hello,

Question regarding Tomcat 5.5.7 and the JNDI Datasource:

It seems like either the web documentation for Tomcat 5.5 or the
implementation is incorrect regarding the use of JNDI Datasources.

In this page:

<http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html>

the "Resource" element configuring the DataSource is put inside the "Context" 
element.

However, I have tried to set up a DataSourceRealm that is configured
using said "Resource"

Out of luck? Bugs related to other Tomcat versions helped out:

<http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24723>
<http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24836>

I put the "Resource" element inside the "GlobalNamingResources" element, 
described here:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/globalresources.html>
...and it worked!

Maybe the documentation should tell people to set up the "Resources" in the
"GlobalNamingResources"? Probably not though -- there might be some other 
reason why
it didn't work. I tried "useNaming=true" for the "Context" according to
<http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html> but
no go :-((

Additionally:

The 'factory' attribute of the 'Resource' element is mentioned nowhere... o_O
which is **BAD** because w/o the factory value the Realm Authentication seems to
reduce to 'Access All Areas' - you don't get no error in the catalina log 
either.

       <Resource name="jdbc/lousydatabase"
                 auth="Container"
                 type="javax.sql.DataSource"
HERE ---->        factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
                 driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
                 validationQuery="SELECT 1"
                 loginTimeout="10"
                 username="waateenbordel"
                 password="tudjeu!!"
                 testOnBorrow="true"
                 
url="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/lousy?autoReconnect=true&amp;connectTimeout=5000&amp;socketTimeout=30000&amp;useUsageAdvisor=true"
       />
