Loading Oracle Driver Problems

[Peter Shankey]

Use Tomcat version 5.0.19 with Oracle 9.2.0.4

I have tried to follow the Tomcat instruction but somewhere along the line I
have missed something:

1) I have copied all jar files from $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib to
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib

2) Here is the web.xml file:
  <resource-ref>
        <description>Oracle Datasource example</description>
        <res-ref-name>jdbc/myoracle</res-ref-name>
        <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
        <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
     </resource-ref>

3) Here is the server.xml file, I put this section between the Host tags in
the xml file:

<Resource name="jdbc/myoracle" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
     <ResourceParams name="jdbc/myoracle">
       <parameter>
            <name>factory</name>
            <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value>
          </parameter>
        <parameter>
          <name>driverClassName</name>
          <value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value>
        </parameter>
        <parameter>
        <name>url</name>
          <value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.1.101:1521:to1</value>
         </parameter>
        <parameter>
        <name>username</name>
    <value>test</value>
  </parameter>
  <parameter>
    <name>password</name>
    <value>test</value>
  </parameter>
  <parameter>
    <name>maxActive</name>
    <value>20</value>
  </parameter>
  <parameter>
    <name>maxIdle</name>
    <value>10</value>
  </parameter>
  <parameter>
    <name>maxWait</name>
    <value>-1</value>
  </parameter>
</ResourceParams>

4) Here is the bean I am trying to use:
package mybean;

import java.beans.*;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.*;

public class testDBConn extends Object implements Serializable {


    public testDBConn() throws Exception {
        Context initContext = new InitialContext();
        Context envContext  = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
        DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/myoracle");
        Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
    }


}

The error I keep receiving is:
MonitorFilter::javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create JDBC driver of
class '' for connect URL 'null', cause: No suitable driver


I am unsure where I am dropping the ball on this issue If you have any ideas
please let me know.


Thanks
Pete
