Hi Rosdi,
I tried your suggestions without much luck. When I create a context
reference to the Interbase DB the code fails on the following line:
DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbcTranshub");
with the error:
Name jdbcTranshub is not bound in this Context
The entry I created in the Server.XML file is:
<Context path="C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\transhub"
docBase="transhub" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/Transhub" name="jdbcTranshub"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>
Java code is:
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbcTranshub");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance, Rob.
PS: I did remove the "Resource-Ref" out of the web.xml file as well.

Robert,
First of all.., I am using Oracle and Tomcat 4.1.9, so my answer might not
apply to your problem..
I got the same error like yours.. but after I removed all reference to the
datasource in web.xml and
then I declared a ResourceLink like this in my server.xml my program is
running perfectly.
Here is my global datasource in server.xml
<Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/epantaidbPool" scope="Shareable"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/epantaidbPool">
<parameter>
<name>username</name>
<value>epuser</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>url</name>
<value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:epantai</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>password</name>
<value>zaq12wsx</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>maxActive</name>
<value>20</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>maxWait</name>
<value>5000</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>driverClassName</name>
<value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>maxIdle</name>
<value>10</value>
</parameter>
</ResourceParams>
And then here is the resource link for my application, also in server.xml.
<Context className="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext"
cachingAllowed="true"
charsetMapperClass="org.apache.catalina.util.CharsetMapper" cookies="true"
crossContext="false" debug="0"
docBase="C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.9\webapps\mediline_upload"
mapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextMapper"
path="/mediline_upload" privileged="false" reloadable="false"
useNaming="true" wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper">
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/epantaidbPool"
name="jdbc/epantaidbPool" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>
Then I create a singleton class to initialise the datasource, all my codes
then get the connection from this singleton class.
I attach the server.xml, web.xml, ConnCache.java, and DatabaseManager.java
for your reference. Hope that helps..
Regards,
Rosdi.

By default, a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector is established on port 8080.
You can also enable an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 by
following the instructions below and uncommenting the second Connector
entry. SSL support requires the following steps (see the SSL Config
HOWTO in the Tomcat 4.0 documentation bundle for more detailed
instructions):
* Download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or later, and put the JAR files
into "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext".
* Execute:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Windows)
$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Unix)
with a password value of "changeit" for both the certificate and
the keystore itself.
By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a web application calls
request.getRemoteHost(). This can have an adverse impact on
performance, so you can disable it by setting the
"enableLookups" attribute to "false". When DNS lookups are disabled,
request.getRemoteHost() will return the String version of the
IP address of the remote client.

saveOnRestart: If true, all active sessions will be saved

ignored in both cases.
maxActiveSessions: If 0 or greater, having too many active
sessions will result in some being swapped out. minIdleSwap
limits this. -1 means unlimited sessions are allowed.
0 means sessions will almost always be swapped out after
use - this will be noticeably slow for your users.
minIdleSwap: Sessions must be idle for at least this long
(in seconds) before they will be swapped out due to
maxActiveSessions. This avoids thrashing when the site is
highly active. -1 or 0 means there is no minimum - sessions
can be swapped out at any time.
maxIdleSwap: Sessions will be swapped out if idle for this
long (in seconds). If minIdleSwap is higher, then it will
override this. This isn't exact: it is checked periodically.
-1 means sessions won't be swapped out for this reason,
although they may be swapped out for maxActiveSessions.
If set to >= 0, guarantees that all sessions found in the
Store will be loaded on startup.
maxIdleBackup: Sessions will be backed up (saved to the Store,
but left in active memory) if idle for this long (in seconds),
and all sessions found in the Store will be loaded on startup.
If set to -1 sessions will not be backed up, 0 means they
should be backed up shortly after being used.
