Hi Christian,
Apologies for emailing the wrong list. I assumed this would be more a dbcp-config problem. Is there an alternative list specifically for dealing with Tomcat config? Other than the web.xml and context.xml files, we have made no other changes to the tomcat setup. I will attach a copy of the context.xml file in the hope that someone might be able to see what is wrong. If the web.xml and context.xml files appear fine, I really have no idea where to turn. Unfortunately, the technical people in the hosting company don't seem to know what's wrong either.

Hi Martin,

I think first of all, you should change the mailing list. :) This is
more a tomcat-config than a dbcp problem.
The resource-ref in the web.xml seems ok for me. Did you have the
datasource globally defined on your development/testing system?
Restarting your context should be sufficent if you changed your
web.xml/context.xml.

Take a look at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
there is a pretty helpful documentation how to set up datasource for
Tomcat 5.5.

Hi Christian,
In our web.xml file, we have a resource description as follows:

<resource-ref>
   <description>DB Connection</description>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/pokerdb</res-ref-name>
   <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
   <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>

Is this what we need to change? Will this require other changes in the
context.xml file aswell?
Incidentally, because we are being hosted on a shared Tomcat server,
will changes to our web.xml and context.xml files require a global tomcat restart, or will it be enough just to restart our context? I would expect the hosting company not to allow us to restart Tomcat for
more than 100 users every time we need to make a change?
Thanks,
Martin
