Hi all, excuse me I'm going to ask about a topic there are thousands of questions already made. The fact, is that I've searched and tried everything, but I still cannot connect Tomcat with SQLServer using a Resource.
I've copied exactly the example at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-how to.html I've got the DBTest class (from the example) also. My web.xml is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <web-app> <description>MySQL Test App</description> <resource-ref> <description>DB Connection</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/TestDB</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> </web-app> And my server.xml ..... <Host....... <Context path="/DBTest" docBase="DBTest" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_DBTest_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/> <Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>100</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>30</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>10000</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>websitebenchmark</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>redheader</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> </Context> </Host> ............. But I´m still getting javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial at this line: DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/TestDB"); //From de DBTest class Is anyone able to tell me what that means??
