I don't mean to discourage you however you are developing an application using struts. The current struts datasource is deprecated and it is recomended that you use either a jndi datasource or a product like poolman on sourceforge or a DAO product which maintains the datasource itself.
I suspect your problem is due to not including struts-legacy.jar since the datasource is only marginally supported and was not included in the base jar.

When I execute the web app I get the following error: 503 Initializing application data source org.apache.struts.action.DATA_SOURCE I have placed the commons-dbcp-1.1.jar file in my lib path. My platform is Jrun4 and a SQL2000 database. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to why I am getting this error? My struts-config.xml is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd";> <struts-config> <data-sources> <data-source type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"> <set-property property="driverClassName" value="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"/> <set-property property="url" value="jdbc:odbc:xxxxx"/> <set-property property="username" value="xxxxx"/> <set-property property="password" value="xxxxxxxxx"/> </data-source> </data-sources> <form-beans> <form-bean name="loginForm" type="LoginForm"/> </form-beans> ......etc. Thanks for any help.
