Try putting it in WEB-INF instead of META-INF Adam.
-----Original Message----- From: White, Joshua A (HTSC, CASD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 March 2004 12:45 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: context.xml - what's the secret? Hello all, Let me first say that I am using Tomcat 4.1.30 and have an existing application that is working properly. I decided that I would like to explore putting the context element for my web application in a myWebapp/META-INF/context.xml file instead of in my server.xml file. The existing configuration currently works and defines both a dbcp connection pool and a mail session. After removing this context element from my server.xml file and placing it into the context.xml file, my application no longer works. What did I miss? I am using the ant install and deploy tasks to deploy/install this simple application. I receive the following exception (keep in mind that my previous configuration works and that my JDBC driver is in the common/lib dir): org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null', cause: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver at java.sql.DriverManager.getDriver(DriverManager.java:243) at org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.jav a:743) at org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource.getConnection(BasicDataSource.java:5 18) at hibernateapp.DBTest.init(DBTest.java:24) . . .
