If you are using Tomcat, I believe you can change it in the C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.xx\conf\server.xml file. Something like this:
Tom Kochanowicz <!-- Configure Classified Ads JNDI Datasource connection. Example: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples -howto.html --> <Context path="/classified" docBase="classified" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_Classifieds_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/> <Resource name="jdbc/Classifieds" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/Classifieds"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <!-- Maximum number of dB connections in pool. Make sure you configure your mysqld max_connections large enough to handle all of your db connections.

Set to 0 for no limit. --> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>15</value> </parameter> <!-- Maximum time to wait for a dB connection to become available in ms, in this example 10 seconds.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Lauman Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 4:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DataSource Question I'm using the following code in a servlet to get a JDBC connection: Context ctx = new InitialContext(); DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/DBNameDS"); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); It works fine... but I would like to be able to substitute "DBNameDS" with the actual name of the ds as defined in the web.xml file. How can this be done?
