The database is run entirely from within the servlets and supporting Java code, no configuration at all in server.xml. Unfortunately it's a legacy part of the system that I have not had the time to rewrite. Basically the only change to the default server.xml is to add the 443 enabling block and point it to our certificates. I don't change anything else from what is supplied as the standard tomcat 9.0.22 tar.gz file aside from clearing out the default webapps directory. I'll see what I can grab in the way of database configuration from the code. > > Mark > > >> Everything works fine except for the 8-hour timeouts.
