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.. My webapp will read this
config.xml file when tomcat starts the application......this part will
be another question :)......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
