I apologize - but I haven't been receiving any of the tomcat-user lists emails to my previous email account. I have since switched to this one. Anyway... Tom K. - asked: Are you using jstl tags to connect to your database? Looking at your error, I noted the path http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql You are using the preview version of mySQL (Version 5), has connectorJ been tested with it...I don't know, I'm just asking.
My response: I'm a newbie on the configuration so I was just following http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html I would have no idea if it has been tested - how could I find out? My previous email: I am following: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html I am running windows XP - have apache 2.0.48 and Tomcat 5.0.19 up and running with j2sdk1.4.2_04. I am also running MySql5.0.0a Under $CATALINA_HOME/comon/lib mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable-bin commons-collections.3.0.jar commons-dbcp-1.1.jar commons-pool-1.1.jar When I run the test code - test.jsp I get the following error: Exception report: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHand ler.java:94) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch(ErrorDispatcher.java :404) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError(ErrorDispatcher.java :154) org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.generateTLDLocation(TagLib raryInfoImpl.java:359) org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.<init>(TagLibraryInfoImpl. java:190) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseTaglibDirective(Parser.java:458) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseDirective(Parser.java:523) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseElements(Parser.java:1577) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:171) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParserController.doParse(ParserController.jav a:258) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParserController.parse(ParserController.java: 139) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateJava(Compiler.java:237) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:456) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:439) org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.ja va:553) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.ja va:291) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:301) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:248) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) What is wrong with my configuration? Step 2. server.xml configuration says "</Context> tag of the examples context and the </Host>" My server.xml doesn't have <Context> tags should there be one? Step 3. web.xml configuration - Do I make/add these changes to the web.xml under $CATALINA\ROOT\WEB-INF or under a subdirectory called /DBTest/?? Step 4. test code says "deploy your web app into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps either as a warfile called DBTest.war orinto a subdirectory called DBTest." So, I created a directory called DBTest and just put the test.jsp file into that directory - doesn't that qualify as "deploying"?? Thanks for any help to fix my configuration.
