Solved. Crazy but true. When using the Oracle factory: In a Tomcat 5.0 context file, the "url" parameter (name, not the value) must be lower case. In a Tomcat 5.5 context file, the "url" parameter must be UPPER CASE. Works now. Thanks for the help. Sorry for so many mails... tk
Parsons Technical Services <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The docs say that the factory parameter is only needed for entries that Tomcat is not "aware" of. Since you had a special factory(in your old 5.0 context) and not the standard one used by Tomcat you will need to have the factory element in place. See: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/globalresources.html Under Resource Definitions it says: "You MUST also define any other needed parameters using attributes on the Resource element, to configure the object factory to be used (if not known to Tomcat already), and the properties used to configure that object factory." And since Oracle does not use the standard factories that are built into Tomcat you will need the parameter for factory. And I could be full of manure and sprouting daisies. But every now and then I get one right. Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean M.
