Hi again. I just solved my problem with global datasources in Tomcat. Instead of putting my <Resource name=....> and <ResourceParams....> in <GlobalNamingResources></GlobalNamingResources> (which gave me lot's of trouble and exceptions) I put it in the <DefaultContext></DefaultContext> and removed <resource-ref> from my web.xml.
I don't know if this is a neat solution but hey, it works. :-) /Fredrik -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Fredrik Larsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 11 mars 2003 14:39 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ämne: Global DataSource 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! /Fredrik This is what my conf-files look like: SERVER.XML <GlobalNamingResources> <Resource name="jdbc/MyDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/MyDB"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>100</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>30</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>10000</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>myusername</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value></value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> </GlobalNamingResources> WEB.XML <resource-ref> <description>DB Connection</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/MyDB</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
