Re: iBatis and Tomcat

Rashmi,

The bet you used Resources to read the configuration files. To avoid the problem, put the configuration files to the root of the java package. It can be easily done in your ant build file.  something like:

<copy todir="${build.dir}" flatten="true">
            <fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="**/*.xml"/>
        </copy>

Hi All,

 

My question might not relate completely with an iBATIS problem, however, I am a little desperate and would really appreciate some help.

 

I have an application which I am deploying as a WAR onto a tomcat 5.5 server. The application contains a daoConfig and an SQLMapConfig. The WAR file looks like

 

App.war =

-          config (dataaccess.config and other config files)

-          screens (containing jsp pages)

-          WEB-INF (contains struts-config, web.xml)

o        Lib (related lib files)

o        Classes

 

 

When I deploy the app on the tomcat server, daoConfig is initialized in the ActionServlet class. For initializing this config, I have had to supply the exact path name to the config file rather than a relative one. This is because I find that File f = new File(“.”); sysout f. getCanonicalPath() prints the TOMCAT_HOME and not the App directory in TOMCAT_HOME as I would have expected.

 

I also find that supplying a relative path in daoConfig.xml for SQLMapConfig isn’t working. I tried giving the actual path (instead of the package hierarchy) however even that’s not working. I get the following exception

 

Caused by: com.ibatis.dao.client.DaoException: Error configuring SQL Map.  Cause

: java.io.IOException: Could not find resource E:\ source\Ap

p\WEB-INF\src\com\eobone\uam\dblayer\impl\sqlmap\config\SQLMapConfig.xml

        at com.ibatis.dao.engine.builder.xml.XmlDaoManagerBuilder.buildDaoManage

r(XmlDaoManagerBuilder.java:127)

 

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to configure something in tomcat? Please help.

 

Thanks!!!
