Note that you are using a container-managed datasource. As such, the container is required to provide the implementation details. The web.xml only really hints at the interface required. The implementation backs the interface and provides the actual code to return datasources to you. This is a GOOD thing and the absolute last thing you ever want to do is move all the information from Tomcat's proprietary server.xml into the standards-based web.xml. Keeping them separate is what makes your application portable.
When you move to a different container, the deployer will need to provide the proprietary configuration for container-managed datasources, but you will not need to make a single change to your webapp. You app is generic and uses interfaces which all containers claiming to suppport J2EE and/or the servlet spec are required to provide support for.
So, keep things as they are. You have already done the right thing.

Objet : DataSource configuration in web.xml instead of server.xml
hi all,
I 've configured my DataSource configuration within a DefaultContext in the server.xml file in tomcat(4.1). Everything works fine.
Now I would like to move this configuration in the web.xml file. The
datasource section in the documentation explains that is's possible.
I use DBCP api.
here is an extract of my server.xml datasource configuration.
<DefaultContext>
<Resource name="jdbc/raise" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/raise"> <parameter><name>username</name><value>raisepartner</value></parameter> <parameter><name>password</name><value>pwd4rpd</value></parameter> <parameter><name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver</value></parameter> <parameter><name>url</name> <value>jdbc:sybase:Tds:s198000WEBD:4100/raise_partner</value></parameter>
</ResourceParams>
</DefaultContext>
I guess, I must put those line below in the web.xml file
<web-app>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/raise</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref>
how must I specify the other parameters(username,password ...).
any help would appreciated.
