Craig, I had the chance today to follow your instruction for installation of the Commons project Collections, Pool and DBCP. I downloaded the March 24 nightly of each and moved the appropriate jars into the $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory.
I changed the Resource-params as indicated to: <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> I am using the the Resource for a virtual host context. I have double checked to be sure that the code runs using the default Tomcat (4.0.3) datasource factory. Starting up Tomcat and no exceptions are reported in either the catalina or the virtual_host log files. But when I access the resource (via a servlet for login authorization) I get the following exception: ------------------------------------<begin>----------------------------- 2002-03-24 17:55:05 StandardWrapperValve[invoker]: Servlet.service() for servlet invoker threw exception java.lang.IllegalStateException at org.apache.catalina.connector.HttpResponseFacade.sendRedirect(HttpResponseFa cade.java:173) at AdminLogin.doGet(AdminLogin.java:44) at AdminLogin.doPost(AdminLogin.java:54) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.catalina.servlets.InvokerServlet.serveRequest(InvokerServlet.java :446) at org.apache.catalina.servlets.InvokerServlet.doPost(InvokerServlet.java:216) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(Application FilterChain.java:247) <snip> ------------------------------------<end>------------------------------ If you need the rest let me know. Got any ideas where to begin? I would like to use the DBCP package as a model.
