I'm not aware of any other way to create a datasource in Tomcat. It is
possible that you could configure Hibernate to use the JDBC DataManager
instead of a configuring a datasource. To do that you'd have to hack
WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml. There is an example of a DataManager
base config in that file, but it is commented out.

<property
name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:3219</

<property name="hibernate.connection.username">sa</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>
<property
name="hibernate.dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</

But, you'll still need a way to configure Tomcat to authenticate
against the Roller database. So I guess you are stuck, unless you want
to rip and replace Roller's authentication system.
Not good. I guess my recommendation is: if your ISP won't allow you to
configure your app, find another ISP.

Hi,
I'm planning on using Roller 1.2 and right now I'm looking for an ISP
here
in Sweden that supports Tomcat 5+. I have found one that looks pretty
good
but it seems like I don't have access to server.xml or app.level
context
settings like roller_tomcat_5_0.xml. Ok, they have another "account
level"
that gives me my own JVM that would solve it but the price rises
pretty much
then.
My question is if it is possible to place these settings in web.xml
instead
or if anyone have another tips how to handle this... I know this
question is
more kind of Tomcat specific, sorry about that.
Thanks // Torben Norling
