Chris, based on what you're saying and the server.xml posted earlier in this
thread, the following should be done?
1. Remove the JDBCRelm from the Engine node
2. Create a GlobalNamingResources Resource entry with the following:
<Resource
name="jdbc/auth"
description="The Jar Bar user authentication"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
auth="Container"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
maxActive="10" maxIdle="3"
maxWait="10000"
password="MyPassword"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/yucca123_thejarbar"
validationQuery="/* ping */ SELECT 1"
username="MyUser"/>
This is basically what I would normally put in the context.xml file of a web
application for an application-specific database connection.
3. Then create a DataSource Realm under the Engine node to replace
JDBCRealm.
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm"
userTable="users"
userNameCol="user_name"
userCredCol="user_pass"
userRoleTable="user_roles"
roleNameCol="role_name"
dataSourceName="jdbc/auth">
It was a little unclear to me from the documentation that I could put all of
the resource attributes in a GlobalNamingResources Resource entry. It was also
a little unclear to me that I could just refer to a global resource name with
dataSourceName in the Realm.
Thanks for clearing that up.
. . . just my two cents
