Re: Set up postgresql on tomcat7
With apologies for top-posting, I believe that this is now getting a bit confusing, in terms of Java and Tomcat versions, and in terms of where you want to run this on. I suggest that you start by looking at which highest version of Java you can install on your target machine, and then look at the corresponding highest Tomcat version you can install. If your target machine is the Ubuntu one, then use "apt-cache search java" and "apt-cache search tomcat" to find these out. Then refer to : http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html to see which versions to install (the higher the better), and do it. Then maybe start a new thread, indicating clearly - the chosen OS - the chosen java - the chosen Tomcat version x.y.z and re-state your latest questions. I saw one response in the current thread (by Jason D. Burket) which seemed quite specific and detailed. So once you have done the above installation (and before writing again to the list), why don't you give that one a try, and come back and report your success or failure. And if it fails, paste the corresponding Tomcat log messages.

Sorry, I got confused from yesterday and continued the question on my second machine without realizing . I have two machines. The one I started the question with is: Machine number 1. Ubuntu 14.04, Tomcat7 as my web server, I have postgreSQl 9.3 installed as my dbServer. java version 1.8.9_91 Machine number 2 RHEL 6, Tomcat6 as web server, postgreSQL 9.3 dbServer. java version 1.7.0_101 I am focusing my effort on the first machine.

I had hoped to just deploy one copy of the postgres jar to my server and then be able to consume it inside multiple applications, instead of having multiple copies of the jar in multiple apps. Try placing the postgres JDBC driver in Tomcat's lib directory. For example: C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.69\lib Then include your defining the JDBC data source in Tomcat's context.xml For example: C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.69\conf\context.xml Attribute driverClassName should reference a JDBC driver class inside the postgres jar. Attribute name is very important and must match the value of res-ref-name inside your webapp's web.xml. For example: C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.69\webapps\yourWebapp\WEB-INF\web.xml Requires named JNDI data source defined in Tomcat's context.xml jdbc/myPostgresConnection javax.sql.DataSource Container This will allow you to have one copy of the postgres jar deployed in Tomcat's lib directory, and each of your webapps can reference the named connection (i.e. jdbc/myPostgresConnection ) within their own web.xml -Jason I've been through the JNDI portion of the docs on Tomcat and found it still somewhat confusing.
