Dunlow, I have this in mine (driver attribute) driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
But also, it could be that you've got the oracle jdbc jar file in more than one directory. That happened to me and I was getting very unstable error messages I could not account for, and it was related to this. Earlier Tomcat versions were more forgiving, but not the 6.0. series. Try that and let us know. -----Original Message----- From: dunnlow [mailto:dunn...@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 8:38 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Why can't Tomcat find class org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool DataSourceFactory? So, I'm investigating moving away from an oracleconnectionpool and using the tomcat connection pool. I followed the myriad of examples for configuring the Resource in the server.xml. Found great info here (http://people.apache.org/~fhanik/tomcat/jdbc-pool.html) However, when I start tomcat, I get the following error: javax.naming.NamingException: Could not load resource factory class [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool DataSourceFactory] I'm using Tomcat 6.0 My config in server.xml is <Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" name="jdbc/myds" password="mypasswd" type="javax.sql.DataSource" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.10.10.33:1234:myds" user="myuname" /> I get it, tomcat can't find the class. But WHY? I don't see anything in the documentation about adding extra .jar files. I've looked in the distrib and can find the golden .jar anyway. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
