I have a 2-fold question in which I cannot find any information on from the docs, archives, google, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What is the correct way to set up a JDBC resource from my Axis Web Service? It seems that the Axis Service is itself a Servlet, so I do not understand where my init() function that would do the JDBC resource connection would go. For example, I want to do this in my Web Service:
Context init = new InitialContext(); dataSource = (DataSource)init.lookup( "java:comp/env/jdbc/mysql");
I have this working in a function called getDB() within the Web Service but I don't understand how it recognizes the Context it is in because I do not have a WEB-INF/web.xml file that would normally define the resource such as :
<resource-ref>
<description>DB Connection</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/mysql</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>Does Axis know of the application specific WEB-INF/web.xml ? I have set up Data Sources correcty when useing the JWS SDK and within that I needed a resource identified correctly in my application specific WEB-INF/web.xml , but Axis seems to not even care about that file.
