I think I have identified the problem. I deployed a 'broken' HelloWorld war file to tomcat by coping it to apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps. Tomcat then expanded it, so there is now both a war file and a expanded directory structure.
In all of my attempts to fix the code, I was modifying the code within the expanded structure and nothing seemed to work. Once I delete the war file, everything now worked. Why does tomcat work like this ? I would have expected one of the following: - Expand the war then delete the war - Do not expand the war Can someone shed some light on where I might have gone wrong ? -Thanks Steve More On 5/19/06, Stephen More <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Now that we have verified this first layer ( JDBC Driver installed OK ), how can I test the next layer ? $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/DBTest/META-INF/context.xml What can I do to verify that my context.xml is set correctly ? -Thanks Steve More > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Stephen More" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 5:34 PM > Subject: Help with Tomcat & MySQL using JNDI > > > Is there a war file available for download that will do nothing more than: > select 'HelloWorld from MySQL'; using JNDI ? > > > I have tried following many examples on the web and I keep ending up with: > Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null' > > At this point I am pulling out my hair and thinking their must be a > bug in tomcat 5.5.17 ! > > Can anyone provide me with a simple working war using MySQL ? > > > -Thanks > Steve More > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
