Don't 'copy' the mysql driver from WEB-INF/lib to TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib
-- move it. It cannot be in both places at once. Also be sure the
permissions are set correctly so tomcat can read the jar and be sure
you've restarted tomcat after the move so the classloaders pick it up
properly. I have no idea why it works in Windows at all unless the
Windows install has a copy of it in common/lib already -- which can
cause problems later on if it's also in WEB-INF/lib.
As a side note (and this is becoming a mantra with me) please don't use
?autoReconnect=true in your jdbc url. Instead add the attribute
validationQuery="select 1" in the Resource element. That tells the pool
how to validate the connection and optionally regenerate it before you
borrow.

Hello,
I'm working on a CENTOS 5 Linux setup.
I'm trying to avoid the pre-loaded tomcat which was installed in
/usr/share/tomcat5.
I downloaded (from apache) and installed tomcat5.5.25 and installed it
in /opt/tomcat5.
I made sure the existing tomcat is not running and I renamed
/usr/share/tomcat5.
I start it (the new tomcat) with /opt/tomcat5/bin/startup.sh and it
runs fine:
Tomcat manager runs and I can start/stop the built-in apps.
I have an app which I developed using tomcat5.5.9 on Windows, and I am
trying to
transfer it to this Linux setting.
I placed my exploded app in webapps. The app wants to use a Mysql
database named sb_data.
The same database as on Windows has been replicated in Mysql in the
Linux setup.
I have the following context.xml in my META-INF folder:
<Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp"
debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Resource name="jdbc/sb_data" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="sb_normal" password="********"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sb_data?autoReconnect=true"/>
</Context>
My application has a registered AppListener in which I establish the
DataSource
in the contextInitialized method and use it to do some initial work
with the database:
System.out.println("MyApp AppListener: ENTER");
....
Context envCtx = (Context) initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env");
String key = "jdbc" + "/" + "sb_data";
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envCtx.lookup(key);
if (ds != null ){
DAOBaseData.setDataSource(ds);
}
....
...CALL to DAOBaseData.getConnection(); HERE
....
System.out.println("MyApp AppListener: EXIT");
The code for getConnection() looks like this:
public Connection getConnection() throws DAOException
{
Connection connection = null;
if (datasource!= null) {
try {
connection = datasource.getConnection();
} catch (SQLException e) {
//TODO: Log this
String message = e.getMessage();
System.out.println("DAOBaseData: "+message);
throw new DAOException(message);
}
}
connCount++;
System.out.println("Connection[data] allocated:
#="+connCount);
return connection;
}
This works ok on Windows, but in the Linux setting I get the following
error in
the catalina.out log:
MyApp AppListener: ENTER
DAOBaseData: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
com.myapp Error: Cannot load JDBC driver class
'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
MyApp AppListener: EXIT
I'm using the mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar and it is present in
WEB-INF/lib.
I tried copying it to /opt/tomcat5/common/lib , but I still get the
same error.
I'm confused. Why does tomcat on Windows find the JDBC driver, but
not find it on Linux?
Thanks in advance,
Ken Bowen
