So you went from using a package-managed version on Linux to an Eclipse-deployed version on Microsoft Windows? No wonder you are confused. I personally have no idea how Tomcat works through Eclipse. I tend to stay-away from anything that "magically" works. Start Tomcat using the command-line scripts or as a Windows Service with the service runner that comes with Tomcat. You'll be a lot happier with that configuration over time. ... unless you want to deploy to production through Eclipse for some reason. > I have tried to find Tomcat5 documentation on placement of > context.xml file. A file called context.xml exists in conf/context.xml and you may add one under META-INF/context.xml in any web application. The former is the global, default context.xml for the whole server and the latter is obviously per-webapp. It's up to you which is more appropriate for your needs. > Even better would be sample code for jdbc context.xml.

I would recommend against doing it using conf/context.xml, but that would be the way to do it. Why don't you show us what you've got, and we can suggest some improvements? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEAREIAAYFAlD95gcACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDHTQCeLWjXUzkCCdAK+G4Bm8VHydE7 RtsAn1ZCsoS+suDlj0+yngA1Fw2HzFye =UH0J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
