Chris, Using your method of including the context within the application how do you adjust for different environments (dev vs production)? Different WARs?
How we do it now is have a context.xml.default included in the conf/Catalina/NameOfYourHostInServer.xml/ directory where the JNDI datasource is defined. That way we can take the exact same WAR that was deployed on dev and deploy it to production (since they point to different DBs and thus have different datasources).

Remove all JNDI datasource information from server.xml and never put it back in. 2. Use a META-INF/context.xml file and bundle it into your WAR file for deployment. context.xml should include 100% of the JNDI data source configuration that you need for your app. Consider using <Resource> and specifying everything instead of trying to use <Resource> /and/ <ResourceParams>. 3. Stop using the Manager to do anything at all. This will allow your application to setup its own data source instead of relying on the server to have it ready to go before deployment. Re-deployments will re-setup the connection, just as it was intended. This is all documented (poorly, I might add), on this page: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.h tml Under "MySQL DBCP Example / 2. server.xml configuration", replace the direction to put the configuration "into server.xml inside your <Context> element" with "into context.xml inside your <Context> element". - -chris Jeffrey C.
