I've had the problem where defining a Datasource in a server.xml (as sub element of the context element) did not work, but moving it to a context.xml for the application (named 'appname.xml' eg) it worked fine.
What is the general rule regarding when to declare e.g. Datasources for a specific application in the server.xml and when to put it in a context.xml? The Tomcat HOW-TO documentation explains that you must do it in the server.xml, but this doesn't sound like the best solution to me. Why would one method work and the other not? Pro's & con's of each? The obvious difference is that updating server.xml would require a server restart where working with a context.xml does not. But in the server.xml you can specify resources globally for for all apps, right? I tried this first, but couldn't get it working... only when the resource was specific to my application could I actually use it without getting errors. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
