using tomcat 5.0.28, oracle 9.2.1.0 on windows 2000 (sp4) having a nightmare here, upgraded from oracle 8i to 9i, downloaded & installed ojdbc14.jar file in Tomcat's common\lib directory. Now all I get when trying to create a connection pool is this exception - 2004-10-22 17:04:22 StandardContext[/PRD]action: null java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingConnection.close(DelegatingConnection.java :151) at org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnection.reallyClose(PoolableConnection.ja va:95) at org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory.destroyObject(PoolableConn ectionFactory.java:301) at org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource.validateConnectionFactory(BasicDataS ource.java:883) at org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.jav a:851) etc... from my web.xml file - <resource-ref> <description>Oracle Datasource example</description> <res-ref-name>PRDConnectionPool</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> from my app xml file - <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:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1521:dev91</value> </parameter> Worked fine under 8.1i but now I've hit a brick wall with this one - is it possible to get these to work together? Probably doing something really stupid, any ideas? many thanks harry !DSPAM:417a864a256491205720536!
