I do not understand unfortunately; I have only one file under conf directory: contex.xml; So every application installed on this instance of tomcat can view the resource; It is like I have configured the resource globally; I can understand it, if every application has it's own context.xml file but indeed I have just one context.xml file;
could you please explain to me maybe with an example why can be security concerns? thanks 2018-08-01 21:31 GMT+02:00 Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org>: > On 01/08/18 20:22, Francesco Viscomi wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm using tomcat 8.5 and I need to configure a datasource in tomcat; > > > > If a configure it in the contex.xml file under conf directory using the > tag > > <resource> everythings goes well. > > > > But if I configure it in the server.xml file under the conf directory, a > > message tell me that the resource that i have called jdbc/dataSource in > not > > bound in this context; > > > > Now I'm asking why, Tomcat cannot detect that the datasource is > configured > > in the server.xml file? > > And why i should have to configure the resource in the context.xml under > > the conf direcory? > > If you define a resource globally in server.xml you have to explicitly > link it to the web application(s) you want to have access to it. > > Global resources are deliberately not visible to all web applications as > in many installations that would create security concerns. > > Mark > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org > > -- Ing.
