axis msql jdbc configuration help

[Axel Burwitz]

Hi,
I am a beginner in Axis and need some help, because in spite of all 
Tomcat doc reading, googling, trying: I can't work it out:

I have a small Java WebService with usage of Axis 
programmed/installed/deployed/tested, and it works. Fine.

But now, I want to use my MySQL Database with JDBC as in all other Java 
programs.

I have copied the mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable-bin.jar to the 
directory /opt/tomcat/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib, have set the CLASSPATH 
entry for that location, and have - according to Tomcat doc- added

"<Context path="/axis" docBase="axis"
       debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
         <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                    prefix="localhost_DBTest_log." suffix=".txt"
                    timestamp="true"/>
         <Resource name="jdbc/axis"
                      auth="Container"
                      type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
         <ResourceParams name="jdbc/axis">

hours.

           </parameter>
         </ResourceParams>
       </Context>

into my $CATALINA/conf/server.xml
But but but: my program does not get anything working with database access !

Is there anything more to do ??
And I am not sure about the meaning of "path" and "docbase" (see above 
in the server.xml)

Any help wold be greatly appreciated !
(If I get it working, I promise to write a small How To and will publish 
it on our Linux User Group Website..)

Best regards
Axel
