Hey Cliff, I have a similar problem with Tomcat 4.1., but I am using the same connector and the same SDK as you.
I am not sure if I can help, because I have not yet solved it on my end. However, I have been trying to work with the catalina.policy file to grant rights to Tomcat to startup the MySQL connection. grant codeBase "file:/usr/local/mysql/-" { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; // Connect to MySQL permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:3306", "read,connect,resolve,listen"; permission java.util.PropertyPermission "file.encoding", "read"; I have been trying the above modifications to the catalina.policy file, but is not working. Please reply to the group when you solve in ( and I am using 4.1 not 5.0 ) Brent -----Original Message----- From: Cliff Willsher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 11:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DBCP and reloading war file Hi, I have configured my server and web-app to use a DBCP datasource. All works well after the server has been started. If I then replace the war file with an updated version, the server notices the change and redeploys the war file and loads the updated application, however the JNDI datasource now fails. A datasource is returned from the lookup but the driver name attribute is null hence the consequent access fails. Restarting the server make things work normally again. I am using Tomcat 5.0.14 with Java SDK 1.4.2_02 with MySQL connector version 3.0.9 I believe I have eliminated any application errors by going back to the example from the Tomcat docs and this displays the same behaviour so I guess I have something configured badly. I will post all the configuration info if needed. Any help appreciated.
