I am trying to use a datasource to access an Oracle database (Tomcat
5.5.9 and Oracle 9i). I have configured a datasource in the context.xml
as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context
    reloadable="true">
  <Resource
    name="jdbc/reportdb"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    url="jdbc:oracle:thin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1521:rep"
    driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
    password="rep123"
    maxActive="4"
    maxWait="5000"
    maxIdle="2"
    username="rep"/>
  <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>

In web.xml I am referring to the datasource as:

<resource-ref>
        <description>The Reports DataSource</description>
        <res-ref-name>jdbc/reportdb</res-ref-name>
        <res-type> javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
        <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
        <res-sharing-scope>Unshareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>

The code for creating connections is something like this:
try {
        Context ctx = (Context)(new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env"));
        DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/reportdb");
        Connection con = ds.getConnection();
} catch (NamingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
}

The Oracle JDBC driver, classes12.jar is in common/lib.

At runtime I get the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.DelegatingConnection.close(DelegatingConnection.java:151)
        
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.PoolableConnection.reallyClose(PoolableConnection.java:95)
        
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory.destroyObject(PoolableConnectionFactory.java:301)
        
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.validateConnectionFactory(BasicDataSource.java:883)
        
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.java:851)
        
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.getConnection(BasicDataSource.java:540)
        gaim.ui.report.action.ShowReport.doPost(ShowReport.java:42)

Has anyone encountered a similar problem and know of a solution? Is
there anything I am missing in my configuration?

Thanks and Regards,
