Hi All, I've failed miserably in configuring a DataSourceRealm for a web application. I've scoured Google (50/50), mailing list archives (ask a friend), and not to much avail. I've also liased with the Tomcat 5.5 documentation as far as I can tell.
So I turn to "ask the audience" ;) I am using the Realm method described in the docu as "Inside a <Context> element - This Realm will be used ONLY for THIS web application." Before this I tried out my security web.xml declarations with the simple tomcat-users UserDatabase and this worked fine. Now I want to get it working with database tables. I configure my web app Context a la META-INF/context.xml My DataSources are working fine and have been for a good while. The main one, inside the context.xml is <Resource name="jdbc/web" auth="Container" driverClass="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver" minPoolSize="5" maxPoolSize="10" acquireIncrement="1" user="user" password="pass" factory="org.apache.naming.factory.BeanFactory" type="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource" jdbcUrl="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://intratest:1433/dbWeb;charset=Cp1252" /> And I have my web.xml <resource-ref> <description>Web Database</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/web</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> So, I've created my Realm tables and so on in my database (the same one pointed to by the above Resource). I declare in the context.xml file <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm" dataSourceName="jdbc/web" userTable="tblUsers" userRoleTable="tblUserRoles" userNameCol="user_name" userCredCol="user_pass" roleNameCol="role_name" /> I fire up Tomcat and it does not seem to have too much trouble until I try and login. 2006-03-24 11:43:07,578 - ERROR (org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm:405) - Exception performing authentication javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:769) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:152) at org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm.open(DataSourceRealm.java:401) I recognise the "Name jdbc is not bound in this Context" from the days of migrating from Tomcat 5.0 to 5.5 due to the new format for defining Resource elements. However, that's an old story that I figured out eons ago, my DataSource Resources are proven and work. I therefore do not believe this to be a DataSource config or driver problem. It seems to me like the datasources are simply _not ready_ by the time the Realm element is processed? Could this be the case? Or am I simply not seeing something obvious (quite possible :)) Your help appreciated, Allistair <FONT SIZE=1 FACE="VERDANA,ARIAL" COLOR=BLUE> ------------------------------------------------------- QAS Ltd.
