Well, the Admin app does it. You have to lower some security by adding privileged="true" to your <Context ....> . See the admin.xml in webapps for that info. Once you've done that, look and see how the Tomcat developers coded it (after all, it is open source). The admin app is only a webapp and has no special access that any other webapp couldn't have. You can do exactly what they are doing in your own app. So, yes, you can do this through code :-)

I guess it's time to read up on the Tomcat Admin app. :-) Yes, I believe I am using the dbcp datasources along with the oracle jdbc drivers.I'm making the following assumption based on your response: It sounds like I can theoretically create a new datasource in the tomcat admin, then have access to it through web-app code without a restart of the system. But to create a new datasource through the code is not likely possible. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 3:44 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Dynamic DataSources > > > Hello Jay, > > Theoretically, yes...through the Tomcat Admin application.
