I'm stepping through the example Professional Apache Tomcat 5 book by Wrox in Chapter 14 - I have set up the mysql database and confirmed it works and set up the tomcat server and confirmed that I can see my index.jsp page. When I try to go to http://localhost:8070/jsp-examples/wroxjdbc/JDBCTest.jsp I get a standard The page cannot be displayed page. I've included all my steps below. Anyone that can help is most appreciated. Thanks in advance.....Dave Steps I have done 1) Created a DB called everycitizen and a table called test with a column called pk. Created user everyuser w/ a password and granted Select privileges to that user. 2) Copied the mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. 3)Added the following to the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml just before the </Host tag>. Password is blotted out. <!-- added by DM 2/22/2006 --> <DefaultContext> <Resource name="jdbc/WroxTC5" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.Datasource" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/everycitizen" username="everyuser" password="everypass" maxActive="20" maxIdle="30000" maxWait="100"/> </DefaultContext> 4) Added the following to the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF web.xml file at the bottom just before the </web-app> entry after the last env-entry. <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>jdbc/WroxTC5</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref>
5) Added the JDBCTest.jsp file and the errorpg.jsp file to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/jsp-examples/wroxjdbc directory. I created the wroxjdbc folder. The JDBC Test is: <html> <head> <%@ page errorPage="errorpg.jsp" import="java.sql.*, javax.sql.*, java.io.*, javax.naming.InitialContext, javax.naming.Context" %> </head> <h1>JDBC JNDI Resource Test</h1> <% InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext(); DataSource ds = (DataSource)initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/WroxTC5"); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select * from test;"); %> <table width = '600' border='1'> <tr> <th align='left'>XXXX</th> </tr> <% while (rset.next()) { %> <tr><td> <%=rset.getInt(0)%></td></tr> <% } rset.close(); stmt.close(); conn.close(); initCtx.close(); %> </table> </html> and the errorpg is: <html> <%@ page isErrorPage="true" %> <h1> An error has occurred </h1> <%= exception.getMessage() %> </html>
