Dear list, I have inherited a legacy application, which uses DataSources defined within the server.xml of Tomcat 4 connecting to a database. To get the basic system working, I first create a .war in JBuilder6Pro on my PC, then FTP the .war, and then use manager to deploy correctly on my remote linux server.
Problem - there seems to be a bug in Tomcat 4 that won't allow any libraries to be contained in the application WEB-INF when it is deployed. To compile the application and classes etc. properly in JBuilder, I need them. JBuilder will not access the database correctly through Tomcat4 at runtime within JBuilder, but it does compile OK. However, once deployed I have to manually delete them from WEB-INF (ensuring they are all still present in the Tomcat/common/lib folder) and explicitly refer to the datasource in the web.xml with 'java:comp/env/jdbc/myApplication' instead of just 'jdbc/myApplication' - no other permutation seems to work. However, given that JBuilder is supposed to be a powerful testing/development environment, I want to get it set up so that I can use Datasources to connect to Oracle. I know that there are many other ways to do this (QuerySets etc. in JBuilder), and the tutorials show you how, but I need to work around this legacy system which makes these other ways impossible. Has anyone ever encountered this similar problem, and might suggest a good way of configuring the whole process?
