Title: RE: Tomcat and Access Database

The following statement have been got from "http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/JDBCRealm.howto"
this link talks about how to use tomcat with Mysql JdbcDriver.
I want to know how to use tomcat with "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver".
My classname is : sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
my connection url in the program is :jdbc:odbc:shree (where shree is my DSN).
now i want to know the classname and connection URL for my system.
My system name is : sridevi.

This is an example of how to set up a JDBC Realm. For this example I used
the MySQL JDBC driver.

1. Create a database. I made the database named "authority"

2. Create three tables.
     1. The user table. This table needs the user's name and a password
        field. In the example I use "users" for the table name,
        "user_name" for the column that holds the user's name, and
        "user_pass" for the user's password.
     2. The role table. This table needs the role's set up that will be
        in any deployment descriptor that is managed under the container
        this Realm is in. In the example I use "roles" as the table name
        and "role_name" as the role's name. NB: This table doesn't get
        used at all by tomcat.
     3. The role to user table. This table joins a set of roles to a
        single user. In the example the table name is "user_roles",
        the role's name is "role_name" , and the user's name is assumed
        to have the same column name as in the user's table ("user_name"
        in this example.

Here is the SQL I used to create the tables:

create table users
(
user_name varchar(15) not null primary key,
user_pass varchar(15) not null
);

create table roles
(
role_name varchar(15) not null primary key
);

create table user_roles
(
user_name varchar(15) not null,
role_name varchar(15) not null,
primary key( user_name, role_name )
);

Here is sample output from the tables:

mysql>

mysql>

mysql>

3. Add the information to the server.xml file. For this example I used
this entry:

   driverName --> The name of the driver needed to connect to the database
   connectionURL --> The connection URL used to connect to the database
   userTable --> The user's tables
      userNameCol --> The column in the user's table that contains the name
      userCredCol --> The column in the user's table that contains the password
   userRoleTable --> The user's roles table
      roleNameCol --> The column in the user's table that contains a role given
                      to a user

   Optional:
     connectionName -> The name to use when connecting to the database.
     connectionPassword -> The password to use when connecting to the database.

4. You should now be able to authenticate against the database now using the
normal web.xml entries.

Hints:

- Make sure that the JDBC driver is in the lib directory.

- If you have problem connecting you can specify connectionName and connectionPassword:

I didn't make any changes to web.xml for database access. I also developed
on JSWDK and ported to Tomcat, but I had no problems, i.e. the Access
Database sql ran just the same.
