I'm trying to setup Tomcat 5.0.25 to talk to a MySQL database and I've had
no luck after several days of fighting with this thing. I'm following along
the documentation at this URI:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-how
to.html
The example says to edit
If the webapps.xml file is supposed to be located in Catalina\localhost, the
apache's own website documentation JDBC-HOWTO needs to be updated to reflect
that new situation. I'm surprised they haven't updated it because I'm sure
a lot of other people are going to be having the same problems I am.

Wrong place for mysql jar file. It should be in
{TOMCAT_HOME}/common/lib right along side the DBCP jar file.

attempt to access the db would be good as well.

has been lifted in tomcat 5.

So inside of {CATALINA_HOME}/conf/Catalina/localhost/DBTest.xml

I have seen this one too many times. It usually has to do with the naming
lookup. I have had to keep playing with the form of the name until it
worked.

.../ResourceParams sections to define a connection
pool and make it available in tomcat's JNDI name space. web.xml needs

David had me do this following proceedure and that seemed to work, but my
JSP does not return any data so far. The database finally connected though.
When I view this JSP page, all it prints is:
${row.foo} ${row.bar}
instead of the data that should be contained inside those variables.
