Mark Thank you. I looked at DataSourceRealm.open() took the following lines and put them into my custom Realm: /// if (localDataSource) { context = ContextBindings.getClassLoader(); context = (Context) context.lookup("comp/env"); } else { context = getServer().g

How can code in a Realm gain access to a Globally Named Resource

2014-11-25 Thread vince.webb
Hello Web applications gain access to Globally Named JDBC Resources by adding a to context.xml Then using code like: Context initContext = new InitialContext(); dbLookupStr = "java:comp/env/" + dbResourceName; ds = (DataSource)initContext.lookup(dbLookupStr); HOW CAN code in a custom Realm g

I ignored the errors logged by JDBCRealm and proceeded to create my custom Realm. I extended JDBCRealm overriding the authenticate method and using inherited JDBCRealm methods for authorization. This new Realm works OK but JDBCRealm code was logging errors that look related to the ones logged

Neven Even Tomcat newbies have to do real work that will find its way to a real server. Either of the benefits you described as a) and b) mean CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE need to be separate on a real server. I would rather get it straight from the outset rather than mess about with a con

On the subject of "Newbie-friendly", I think Tomcat would be a whole lot more friendly if CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE were always totally separate with a minimum of overlap. Although I used Tomcat quite a lot years ago I still consider myself a Tomcat Newbie, mostly because configuration al

Dan Thank you. Jconsole mbeans pointed me in the right direction. It made me doubt that Tomcat was reading the same server.xml that I was editing. Sure enough when I found that I was not able to change the description of the Resource "UserDatabase" then I knew I was editing the wrong copy of ser

Hello I'm having difficulty getting a JDBC DataSource using Tomcat 8. I want to define the JDBC details in server.xml so the database identified depends on the server and not the application. It will be beneficial for me if the applications only need to know the JDBC name and not password detail

I don’t see their separation as being incompatible with running from a default shell or batch file. It already figures out where to use for CATALINA_HOME, the default place for CATALINA_BASE could be a standard difference from CATALINA_HOME, for example: CATALINA_BASE=$CATALINA_HOME/../catalina_

Hello I'm coming back to Tomcat after years using GlassFish. The little that I ever understood of Tomcat 3, 4 and 5 is now decidedly rusty so I've been reading Tomcat 7's RUNNING.txt with interest. The section under the heading: Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances Looks interestin
