Re: Tomcat/Plesk datasource setup problems
I am not sure how a private JVM on a VPS or on a regular shared OS can be more difficult than the challenges you are facing with the present shared JVM. A shared JVM is good for a very basic JSP/Servlet application. However by its nature (shared), you will not be able to do certain configurations required for more complex applications because that is only possible on your own private installation or instance. Remember on a shared JVM, you as well as others are using the same application server instance and JVM. So image if everyone is able to make changes on the global configuration file e.g. server.xml,etc. Charl Gerber wrote: I currently DO have my own Tomcat server, but the application is now moved to South Africa (site for a business over there, makes it a lot faster for the users who will 99% be based in SA) and Tomcat hosting alone is difficult, leave alone a private JVM. --- Ken Bowen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why not move your hosting to an isp who provides a vps?

Re: Tomcat/Plesk datasource setup problems
Tomcat 5.0.something. (I wanted 5.5 or 6.0, but alas) I wanted to create a JDBC Resource in the GlobalNamingResources to start with. Plesk puts the application into the server.xml something like this: Host deployXML=true name=ammetersforafrica.co.za debug=0 appBase=psa-webapps/ammetersforafrica.co.za unpackWARs=false autoDeploy=true liveDeploy=true Context crossContext=false reloadable=false useNaming=true debug=0 swallowOutput=false privileged=true displayName=Tomcat Manager Application docBase=/usr/share/tomcat5/server/webapps/manager cookies=true path=/manager cachingAllowed=true/ Realm className=org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm debug=0 pathname=psa-users/ammetersforafrica.co.za.xml validate=true/ /Host So in the Context definition, I would want to put a ResourceLink setting to the Global Resource. But, as I said, it would mean everyone has access to it. I do have the Resource in my META-INF/context.xml, but it seems like Plesk/Tomcat just ignores whatever is it in, Tomcat probably reads the server.xml configuration for the app and doesn't look at the context.xml after that? --- Pid [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Charl Gerber wrote: Hi, I just moved my hosting from a provider where I had a private Tomcat server with complete control over it to a provider that uses Plesk and I share the Tomcat server with other users.
