yes, there is a file in the /conf/Catalina/localhost directory for my app

Brian Cook wrote:

Sean,

One thing that stands out in your message is that the conext.xml file was placed in the META-INF folder. Is it also in <<Tomcat Folder>>/conf/Catalina/localhost/ as the module name? i.e. If the context path name of your webapp is "/seansApp" the context.xml file should appear in this folder as seansApp.xml.


The context.xml file is stored in META-INF during development but needs to be placed in <<Tomcat Folder>>/conf/Catalina/localhost/ folder for deployment with the file name of the context path.

I have enclosed my server.xml, web.xml, context.xml (that i placed in my web/META-INF folder), and the class I'm using to make the connection. Thanks again to everyone who has helped me so far.

Hi,

He isn't using that method of configuration, that's just 1 option of 3. He is nesting his Context definition within the server.xml Host element. Although this is now scorned, it's still valid. The 2 other methods are contextname.xml as you say, and also META-INF/context.xml within the webapp itself. Allistair.

Ok but do you have the resource defined in context.xml? If you go to <<Tomcat Dir>>/conf/Cataliana/localhost/ do you see a file with the name of the module ending with .xml? If so is the resource defined in that file? If not you need to add it.

From the description it sounds like nothing in this set up has been done as was show on the example page.

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources
-howto.html

If you use the code block that is shown, define that resource in web.xml and context.xml it will work. But multiple postings latter it still sounds like the JNDI resource is not defined in context.xml and the code calling the JNDI resource differs greatly from the example provided.

The error you are getting just means that that the JNDI

In looking at the code snip it in the first post I am not


following
what you are trying to do. The post is for a JNDI


question but in the
code it looks like you are calling the DB URL directly. The whole point of JDNI being to get specific URL, and configuration info outside of the code base. I am not following what it is you are trying to do here.

Brian Cook wrote:

Yes you can use JNDI with out using JSTL. But the only way to configure it is to define the JNDI resources in the web.xml and context.xml files. Technically you should be able to use the globally defined JNDI resources in server.xml, and I have seen configuration set ups doing it when googling. But could


never get
them to work.

This highlights another area of seemingly unneeded


complication in
Java/Unix development. Using JNDI for data sources which was supposed to help you save time requires that you


redundantly define
the JNDI resource in at lest 2 if not 3 places.

The admin tool which was also supposed to help save time


defines the
JNDI resources in server.xml which does not really seem


to be all
that helpful. I am sure there is likely a reason for


this but I am
ignorant of it. The admin tool is also supposed to let


you define
JNDI resources per context but it errors out when ever


I have tried
it.

My experience with the Tomcat Admin and Manager tools is


that they
are worthless. Of the few steps they try to help with


more often
that not they just return errors when you need to use


it. I removed
them both and have gone back to doing set ups manually


and there has
not been much of a time difference doing it this way.

Any way for JNDI to work you will have to add the


definition for it
in both web.xml and context.xml in the <<Tomcat Folder>>/conf/Catalina/localhost/ folder. This seems counter productive since it makes your app less portable having the data base configuration details inside the context and by


extent the WAR
file but it is what you have to do to get it to work right now.

I feel your pain I know it is frustrating spending hours


debugging
just the DB connection but todate that is the reality of


Java web
app development. It is why I fear we will all be .Net


developers
some day.

Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)
 envCtx.lookup("jdbc/EmployeeDB");

Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
... use this connection to access the database ...
conn.close();

</CODE>

Thanks for responding Dirk. I've practically memorized the documentation on the link you sent:

// Obtain our environment naming context
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");

// Look up our data source
DataSource ds = (DataSource)
envCtx.lookup("jdbc/EmployeeDB");

// Allocate and use a connection from the pool
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
... use this connection to access the database ...
conn.close();

Whenever I try this, here's what I get (which led me


to trying it
the way
I posted):

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java:comp is


not bound
in this

No. Did you look at



http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasourc
e-examples-howto.html?
I recommend putting the context definition in its own


content.xml. On
redeploying my application tomcat wouldn't find the


driver class
anymore.

Mind you not the class itself but the definition of


what class to
load.

This problem was solved by putting the context into


context.xml.

     Dirk

        <!-- Defines a cluster for this node,
By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed. So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
             that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
             A cluster has the following parameters:

             className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class

             name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything

mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes

mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
                          mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat

mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received

tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host, in case of multiple ethernet cards.
                                auto means that address becomes
InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()

             tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port

tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout

printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out

             expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called. false means to replicate the session after each request. false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
                            <%
HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
                            map.put("key","value");
                            %>
replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'. * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication. * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
                               nodes have received the information.
* Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node, so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
                               and then return to the client.
The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a large network delay.
        -->                     <!--
When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated. A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met: 1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
            2. a session exists (has been created)
            3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute

The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session, hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request. The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out, ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters. The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.

filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
            ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide. Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
            so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true" When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
            and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally and cluster wide
