The problem for me is that in the deployment process we delete the old web 
application and copy in the new webapp. Yes you can include the resources in 
a context - but then you need a custom war for every deployment, rather than 
a generic war which uses whatever data source is defined in server.xml.

In our situation each build is certified, ie we run the war on a test server, 
and that war is certified by the client prior to deployment in the live 
environment.

Anyway, I'm going to stop bleating now and see if I can fx it :)

Peter

The following was posted a couple of days ago, and the bug marked as RESOLVED 
and FIXED. However, there was also the comment included below which seems to 
indicate that the resolution was *not* to place JDBC drivers in the 
common/lib directory, but rather add the JDBC jar to the classpath manually.

This is rather confusing. This is a different behavior to Tomcat 4.0.4 (which 
I'm using now), and is undocuented. Ideally it should be fixed so that the 
common/lib directory is used, as is the case with older versions.

I have been dealing with the same problem for a few days and managed to find 
one solution for it.
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.27 and Sybase database running on Win2K(also tried in XP 
and same assembly worked fine).

In my server.xml I have Context under  as follows:

   
 
  

  factory
  org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory


  maxActive
  10


  maxIdle
  2


  maxWait
  1


 username
 report


 password
 report


   driverClassName
   com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybConnectionPoolDataSource


  url
  jdbc:sybase:Tds:xxx:5000/dbname


  removeAbandoned
  true
  
  
  removeAbandonedTimeout
  60

  
  

In my web.xml I have:


   Sybase Datasource
   jdbc/dbref
   javax.sql.DataSource
   Container


,and in Java:
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
Context envContext  = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
dataSource = (javax.sql.DataSource)envContext.lookup(dataSourceName);
Connection con = dataSource.getConnection();

I installed Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.4.2_01 and modified system variables:
JAVA_HOME = "j2re 1.4.2_01 install dir"
CLASSPATH = "3rd party database driver jar directory"
CATALINA_HOME = "Tomcat install dir"

Although Jakarta Tomcat 4.1 "JNDI Datasource HOW-TO" docs adviced not to 
install 3rd party database drivers anywhere else than in 
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib I tried adding jar into CLASSPATH and it worked 
fine.
Make sure you have jre installed and JAVA_HOME set into that dir and it should 
work fine.

Resources only working in a specific context.

2003-10-15 Thread Peter Harrison 
I had an issue with 4.1.27 with having a DefaultContext define a JDBC 
Resource. If the resource is defined in a specific Context everything is 
fine, but move it into DefaultContext or GobalResources and you get 
NullPointer Exceptions and so on.

I was thinking about getting Tomcat source and looking at this myself - but 
I'm not sure where to start looking?
