Hello,
there is a difference between how resources are defined in 5.0 and
5.5. In 5.0 you could provide your resource definitions right in the
server.xml, but in 5.5 you need to create a separate context.xml file
($CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/<hostname>/context.xml) and put resource
definitions there.
See this link: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
I also had this problem when migrating from 5.0 to 5.5. After I
defined a separate context.xml it started to work again.
Regards,

I am struggling to figure out why my Tomcat installation is failing to allow
me to connect my java web application to a database. I am looking for ideas
as to how to find out what is wrong. I have (what I think) is the same setup
on another machine and it works fine. The only difference between these is
that the working one in tomcat 5.0 and this machine is tomcat 5.5 (although I
am just about and try with a 5.0 setup).
I am trying with this simple piece of code - plucked from the tomcat docs.
Context initCtx;
try {
initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context)
initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)
envCtx.lookup("jdbc/akcmoney");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
} catch (Exception e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
and with debug, I can see that initCtX, envCtx and ds all are assigned non
null values, but the ds.getConnection() results in the following.
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC

I have the postgresql jdbc driver jar in $CATALINA.BASE/common/lib
Server.xml contains

</Context>
my WEB-INF/web.xml contains this reference.
<resource-ref>
<description>AKCMoney Database</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/akcmoney</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
Anyone any ideas where I am going wrong, or how to look at the contents of the
nitCtX, envCtx and ds variables in the above code snippet to understand how
far I have got
