Dirk, I'm sorry I didn't see the difference on the page you sent me to.
However, if there is a way I can do this without having to use jstl, I
would really like to know. I was hoping to put the code in a class
somewhere that my servlets could use.
thanks,
sean

Thanks for responding Dirk. I've practically memorized the
documentation on the link you sent:
// Obtain our environment naming context
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
// Look up our data source
DataSource ds = (DataSource)
envCtx.lookup("jdbc/EmployeeDB");
// Allocate and use a connection from the pool
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
... use this connection to access the database ...
conn.close();
Whenever I try this, here's what I get (which led me to trying it the way
I posted):
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java:comp is not bound in this
Context
No. Did you look at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html?
I recommend putting the context definition in its own content.xml. On
redeploying my application tomcat wouldn't find the driver class anymore.
Mind you not the class itself but the definition of what class to load.
This problem was solved by putting the context into context.xml.
regards
Dirk
