I am trying to establish a connection pool in Tomcat 4.1 to SQL Server 2000. Looking at the SQL Server trace utility, it appears Tomcat connects with the correct username/password and then the following exception is thrown:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException at org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolingDataSource.getConnection(PoolingDataSourc e.java:161). I have taken the following steps: 1) Moved the driver jar files to /common/lib/ 2) Modified the Server.xml file 3) Modified the web.xml file of the application Here is my Server.xml entry: <DefaultContext> <Resource name="jdbc/test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/test"> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>jay</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>jay</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>20</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>100</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> </DefaultContext> Here is my entry in the web.xml file: <resource-ref> <description>DB Connection</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/test</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> Are any additional entries needed? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jay Johnson
