We have a winner! The Windows file system is one of the few (the only one I can think of) that's not case sensitive. Unix, linux, bsd, macos, etc. , ... are all case sensitive. You should change the file name 'Context.xml' to 'context.xml' and check to be sure it stays that way as you build your .war file. After that you won't need to have testapp.xml in conf/Catalina/localhost. Also you might want to check all the places in your webapp that references a file and be sure the names match in case to what's on disk.

Hi,

The tomcat version on my Desktop is 5.5.27 and the Tomcat version on the
Unix environment is 5.5.23. Could the above minor version difference cause
it?

One thing i have noticed is that if i take the /META-INF/Context.xml file
and copy it into $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/testapp.xml it does
work.

i.e. why does it require the context file in that directory and why does it
have to be renamed to my applications context. On the Windows environment i
dont have to rename and copy the context file to
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost

Thanks

Ok...

1) I don't see a tomcat version, could you post that?
2) Are you sure the tomcat version on the production environment the same
as your dev system?
3) This is probably not causing the immediate problem, but <res-type> ...
</res-type> in your web.xml should be javax.sql.Datasource, not
oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource.

Seems like such a generic error would have a root cause.  Was there
anything more to the stack trace?

Hi,

I am trying to connect to an oracle database but cant seem to get the
jdbc
connection to work. I am developing the application on a Windows desktop
and
transferring it onto a Unix box.

When i test it on the Windows environmnet it does manage to connect but
if
i
test it on unix then i get an error. My gut feeling is that the
installation
on the unix environment is missing a library but i cant figure out what
it
is.

Here is how i am trying to get the jndi connection.

[code]
String fullname;
      if (jndiPrefix != null && jndiPrefix.length() > 0)
          fullname = jndiPrefix + datasource;
      else
          fullname = datasource;

      // JNDI
      Context ctx = null;
      DataSource ds = null;
      Connection conn = null;

      try
      {
          ctx = new InitialContext();
          Context envContext  = (Context)ctx.lookup("java:/comp/env");
          if (ctx != null)
          {
              ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup(fullname);
              if (ds != null)
              {
                  conn = ds.getConnection();
              }
          }
      }
[/code]

And here is the Configuration.

Context.xml (User and password modified)

[code]
 <Resource name="jdbc/theDb" auth="Container"
                    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
                    url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:webdev"
                    username="webuser" password="webuser" maxActive="20"
maxIdle="10"
                    maxWait="-1"/>
[/code]

web.xml

[code]
  <resource-ref>
   <description>Oracle Datasource</description>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/theDb</res-ref-name>
   <res-type>oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource</res-type>
   <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
  </resource-ref>

[/code]

And here is the stack trace of the error

What i dont understand is why it works on the installation on the
windows
environment but not in the Unix environment. I check all the libraries
and
everything under common/lib is the same for both environments.

Thanks
