Rob,

Thanks for that info. It looks correct to me. You have defined the correct factory for Tomcat's own JDBC pool are you are correctly casting to an instance of a DataSource from that pool.

That caused me to go back and take a closer look at your original report.

It appears from the class loaders that you have placed the JAR for Tomcat's JDBC pool (tomcat-jdbc.jar) in WEB-INF/lib. That won't work - hence why you actually get the default Commons DBCP2 based pool. You need to place tomcat-jdbc.jar in $CATALINA_BASE/lib.

I'm most confused by the "'app'" loader.   Who's is that?  I doesn't look like a TC thing.  I have a package called "app" which includes the main() of my embedded server.

Apologies as I'm not fully up on the modules notion and was blissfully getting by without dealing with that.  Until now. You can find me over in the Java Organization section of hell.

Which database connection pool do you want to use?

Tomcat's package renamed copy of Apache Commons DBCP
or
Tomcat's own JDBC Pool?

(there isn't much to choose between them these days).

How is the DataSource defined?

My context.xml is as follows

    <Context reloadable="true">
       <Resource
         name="jdbc/sgsdb/version4019"
         url="jdbc:postgresql://gitanmax:5432/version4019"
         driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
         type="javax.sql.DataSource"
         factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory"
         testWhileIdle="false"
         testOnBorrow="true"
         testOnReturn="false"
         validationInterval="30000"
         timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="30000"
         maxActive="50"
         initialSize="3"
         maxWait="10000"
         removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
         minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="30000"
         minIdle="1"
         maxIdle="5"
         logAbandoned="true"
         removeAbandoned="true"
         username=""
         password=""
       />
       <Valve
           className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
           prefix="sgs_access">
       </Valve>
    </Context>

Do you know what code is triggering the failing cast?

   public DataSource getDataSource(String dbname) {
      DataSource lookupDS = null;
      try {
        InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
        Context sgsContext  = (Context) ic.lookup("java:/comp/env");
//*** this next line is the cast which blows up.
       lookupDS = (org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource) sgsContext.lookup("jdbc/sgsdb/"+dbname);
      }
      catch (javax.naming.NamingException ne) {
        lookupDS = null;
        log(ne.getMessage()); //TODO
      }
     return lookupDS;
   }


The app loader is one of the class loaders in the standard Java class loader hierarchy. I forget the exact details. Google should be able to tell you that.
Got it.
