Migrating to 8.0 and am having trouble with a custom Resource loader. Below is my context.xml file:
<Context> <Resources className="com.comsquared.idw.catalina.ext.MyCustomStandardRoot" /> <Loader loaderClass="com.comsquared.idw.catalina.ext.MyClassLoader" delegate="true" useSystemClassLoaderAsParent="false" /> <Resource name="jdbc/ImageDirectorWorkflowDS" type="javax.sql.DataSource" factory="com.comsquared.idwm.DataSourceFactory" /> </Context> I am not concerned about the datasource right now. But when I try to get the context org.apache.catalina.Context ctx = this.getContext(); ctx is null. Do I need to add something to the context.xml file? The docs only mention this: "The standard implementation of Resources is org.apache.catalina.webresources.StandardRoot, and is configured by its parent Context element." But no mention about how a custom implementation of Resources gets its Context. I would assume from its parent as well. But how do I get the parent context? Thanks, Ed.
