Hi. Did you try putting your .jar files in \WEB-INF\lib of you webapp?

>>> "Tom Henricksen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/28/2008 8:08 AM >>>
I have an application in Tomcat 5.0.30 that we are trying to get to use
JDBC through JNDI. 

I am trying to follow along with
akarta-tomcat-5.0.30/webapps/tomcat-docs/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.
html.



I have setup the context.xml



            <Context debug="4"
docBase="C:/Java/eclipse-europa/europa-workspace/bop-med/web"
path="/bop-med" reloadable="true"
workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\bop-med">

                <Resource name="jdbc/medical" 

                        type="javax.sql.DataSource"

                        password="password" 

                        driverClassName="com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver" 

                        maxIdle="2"

                        maxWait="5000"

                        validationQuery="select * from sysibm.SYSDUMMY1"

                        username="user"

                        url="jdbc:db2://server:50000/db" 

                        maxActive="4"/>

            </Context>

            

And I have setup the web.xml with 



            <resource-ref>

                        <description>DB Connection</description>

                    <res-ref-name>jdbc/medical</res-ref-name>

                    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>

                    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>

            </resource-ref>



When I call the following code



            initCtx = new InitialContext();



            Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");

            DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/medical");



            Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

            System.out.println("DB Version : "

                                    +
conn.getMetaData().getDatabaseMajorVersion());

            conn.close();





I get the following error
