Help Accessing a JNDI Datasource Tomcat 4.0b7

[Jonathan Pierce]

I'm trying to lookup a jndi datasource in Tomcat 4.0b7 but I must be missing
something.

I'm able to view the bindings but I get an error trying to instantiate the
datasource. How do I specify the factory and what value should I use to
instantiate the Oracle DataSource class?


I am able to view the bindings successfully with:

  Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
           
    Context  theComponentContext = (Context) initCtx.lookup ("java:comp/env");
   NamingEnumeration enum2 = theComponentContext.listBindings("jdbc");
      
      
      while (enum2.hasMore()) {
        Binding binding = (Binding) enum2.next();
        out.println("Name: " + binding.getName());
        out.println("Type: " + binding.getClassName());
        out.println("Value: " + binding.getObject());
        out.println();
      }


In my server.xml, I have:

<Resource name="jdbc/oradb7" auth="SERVLET"
                    type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
          <ResourceParams name="jdbc/oradb7">
            <parameter><name>user</name><value>test</value></parameter>
            <parameter><name>password</name><value>test</value></parameter>
            <parameter><name>driverClassName</name>
              <value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value></parameter>
            <parameter><name>driverName</name>
              <value>jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:ORADB7</value></parameter>
          </ResourceParams>

In the web.xml file of my context I have a valid reference to the resource:

<resource-ref>
        <res-ref-name>jdbc/oradb7</res-ref-name>
        <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
        <res-auth>SERVLET</res-auth>
    </resource-ref>
