I am attempting to setup a tomcat mysql connection in order to allow users to write jsp webapps that can use a mysql database backend.
I have understood that this page seems to be a "walkthrough" on how to set this up, and I'm running into problems in the MySQL DBCP Example section. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html I have followed the steps verbatim (except the javauser account password in mysql, I'm using something different) In step 2, I put the <context...> entry separate of the existing context entry located in $CATALINA_ROOT/conf/context.xml In step 3, I put the <description> and <resource-ref> at the end of the web.xml file (right before </web-app> and I have created a testfile in $CATALINA_ROOT/webapps/ROOT/test.jsp When I restart tomcat, logs/catalina.out has some lines like the following (where line 36 is the new <Context ...> entry): Oct 15, 2008 1:55:02 PM org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester fatalError SEVERE: Parse Fatal Error at line 36 column 2: The markup in the document following the root element
