What version of Tomcat? What JVM? What platform are you running Tomcat on? > server.xml (inside the <Host>-Element): > ------------------------------------------------------ > <Context path="/TestDB" docBase="TestDB" debug="5" reloadable="true" Extremely bad practice to put <Context> elements in server.xml. The proper location is in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file. When you do so, remove the path and docBase attributes, since they're not allowed when you have <Context> in a proper location. Also, the debug attribute hasn't been used in years, so get rid of that as well. > <Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"7 What's that 7 hanging on the end? > After I did this, Tomcat didn't work anymore. I even can't > debug it, because the Tomcat window dissapears to fast. Look in the Tomcat logs. Also start Tomcat with "catalina.bat run" (or "catalina.sh run", depending on the platform - which you didn't tell us); this will run Tomcat in the current command window. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
