I'm trying to understand naming contexts and their implementations in
tomcat.....looking at the code below, we lookup the jndi resource
"jdbc/test" When tomcat starts up, it parses the server.xml file.....It
finds:
<Resource name="jdbc/test" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/test">
<parameter>
<name>factory</name>
<value>org.apache.commons.
dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value>
</parameter>
.
.
.
Tomcat looks at this and adds a name value pair to a naming
context.....My question is about this naming context tomcat has......How
can I add a name value pair to this same context?.....and how can I make
a reference to that value? Would I access it the sameway in the code
below? (("java:/comp/env/"myRefernceName") or ("java:/") ) I want to
add other values to this same context....My basic idea is to have an xml
file with all of the properties for my webapp....and I want to lookup
these properties using jndi.....my reason for this is I want to be able
to lookup certain application specific properties (i.e. ldap stuff, jdbc
stuff, constants, and such.....and I know about adding jdbc, and ldap
res-ref in the server.xml) much like a myApp.properties file......Any
ideas? Does this question make sense......
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
if (ctx == null)
throw new Exception("Boom - No Context");
DataSource ds =
(DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/test");
out.println ("DATASOURCE: " + ds);
conn = ds.getConnection();
.
.
.
}catch{......
Thanx in advance
