Ok tried it again.. first some more information:
I am using Tomcat 5.0.28 on Redhat Fedora Core 3, installed in
/usr/local/tomcat
I created a XML file called <application>.xml in
/usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost
where <application> is the name of the webapp. That worked so far. The file
consisted just of a few lines:
<Context path="/NetAdmin" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/NetAdmin"
debug="0" privileged="true">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
allow="192.100.46.*,172.16.*.*,194.25.29.*,127.0.0.1"/>
</Context>
I have to mention that I did neither write that app nor know much about it
anyway.. it uses a JDBC connection
to a mysql database to write data to that db. But after creating that config
file mentioned above, the
JDBC driver didn't work anymore...
Anyone can help me with that?
Regards,
Jens
