I should have mentioned, I have a ContextListener that contains the following:
----------------------------------------------------------- initCtx = new InitialContext(); envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); logger.info("*** loading Data Source"); try { ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("sql/DataSource"); application.setAttribute("services.datasource", ds); logger.info("*** DataSource loaded @ services.datasource"); } catch (NamingException ne) { logger.fatal("ERROR loading DataSource: ", ne); } ----------------------------------------------------------- And I get both 'info' messages. So the DataSource resource is being loaded, and it *can* be found at "sql/DataSource" (by my code in the context listener). It's just the Realm that can't seem to find it, as indicated by the stacktrace below. However, leaving no stone un-turned, I deleted the entire work directory for the 'foo' host and get the same result. This still appears in the engine log when I attempt to authenticate: 2005-10-20 09:51:15 DataSourceRealm[]: Exception performing authentication javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name sql is not bound in this Context at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:768) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:151) at org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm.open(DataSourceRealm.java:437) at org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm.authenticate(DataSourceRealm.java: 277) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator.authenticate(BasicAuthe nticator.java:129) > -----Original Message----- > From: Stanley Bradbury [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 8:07 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Trouble finding Datsource Resource with DataSourceRealm > < big snip /> > > > Hi - > I had a similar problem (with 5.5.12) that turned out to be > related to > restart persistence (see post 10/17 Subj: "Odd problem with Restart > Persistance..." for more info).
