1. I used an absolute path to the torque properties file. (I'll load the file differently later)
2. Located the mysql jar to put in the lib directory of struts.
3. Modified the struts-config.xml file of struts to include driver, database url, user, password as a datasource
Although, I am still initializing torque the same way by calling it from an action object.
Everything is working fine. Now time for improvements.

I am using a singleton pattern to initialize torque from within an action object which is called by a jsp. I don't think the problem is the way I
am calling it though, but I could be wrong.
/**
* Initialize database.
* Set the database pooling properties so data objects and torque peer classes
* can communicate with MySQL database.
*/
public final class InitTorque {
private static InitTorque instance = new InitTorque();
private InitTorque() { try { Torque.init("d:\\jbproject\\metokotecan\\Torque.properties"); } catch(Exception e) { System.err.println("Error in Torque initialization " + e); } }
public static InitTorque getInstance() {
return instance; }

Hi, I don't know How you are calling this method, but as the best practise is to use a servlet which registered in the web.xml. As far as I can remember you have to extend your servlet class from ActionServlet class.
you can also pass the path to torque properties as an initParameter. HTH, Alvin Alvin K.

What needs to be done to use torque with struts 1.1. private InitTorque() {[EMAIL PROTECTED] 29.05.03 22.59 Uhr >>>
try {
Torque.init("Torque.properties");
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error in Torque initialization " + e);
}
}
I am using JBuilder in working with a struts web application using
torque.
When trying to initialize torque calling this method, I get an error that it is not able to open the torque.properties file. Also, when I try to trace through the bug, I notice it throwing an exception, indicating that it can not locate WebappClassLoader.java from project source/class path. I assume I need to add some configuration settings to the struts-config.xml?
thanks for any help,
Darrell
