Hi list, a simple question, where I hope somebody could shed some light upon my head:
I've specified [webapp]/META-INF/context.xml, where I defined the connection-pool and the datasource that should be used. However, when I'm using the old format of the element "Resource", everything runs smooth, but if I'm using the new format with "ResourceParams", the datasource is not found and I'm getting a NPE within my web-app. I've looked over the files again and again and again and I can't see any difference within it's contents. Do I miss something here, do I have some tomatoes upon my eyes, is this a feature or just a bug??? The working context.xml: ================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context> <Resource auth="Container" description="DB Connection for SSO" name="jdbc/SSODS" type="javax.sql.DataSource" factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" username="username" password="password" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/apacheSSO" maxIdle="5" maxWait="10000" maxActive="10" validationQuery="SELECT 1" testOnBorrow="true" testWhileIdle="true" timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="10000" minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="28800" poolPreparedStatements="true" removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="300" logAbandoned="true"/> </Context> The NPE-version of the same file: ======================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context> <Resource name="jdbc/SSODS" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/SSODS"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>5</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>validationQuery</name> <value>SELECT 1</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>testOnBorrow</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>testWhileIdle</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis</name> <value>10000</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>minEvictableIdleTimeMillis</name> <value>28800</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>password</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/apacheSSO</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>poolPreparedStatements</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandonedTimeout</name> <value>300</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>logAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource> <WatchedResource>META-INF/context.xml</WatchedResource> </Context> PS.: JDK is 1.5.0_07-b03, OS is Debian Sarge TIA Greg -- what's puzzlin' you, is the nature of my game
