Global DataSource

[Fredrik Larsson]

Hi all.

I'm trying to set up a global DataSource on my Tomcat 4.1.18 standalone to
be available to all of my applications installed on the server.

But... I just can't get this to work. I've been following the instructions
in the tomcat documentation but it doesn't help.

I can start the server without any problems and view the global datasource
in the Administration Tool but as soon as I'm trying to access the
datasource from a servlet i get the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'.

I've tried to set up the datasource for just one application context and
that works... but that's not what I want.

Another thing is that when I'm trying to view the datasources for one
specific application-context that should use this global datasource I get
this exception:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Exception retrieving attribute
'driverClassName'

Has anyone got a clue?

Thanks!

This is what my conf-files look like:
