Hello, this is the scenario: I have an application that must have two interfaces: as a desktop application and as a web application I've put the business logic inside a JAR library (client_bpm.jar), which must connect to an Oracle 9i database I configured the web application so it can use a db pool connection, in the following manner:
1. Added to %CATALINA_HOME%/conf/server.xml the following: <Server> <GlobalNamingResources> <Resource name="jdbc/RAM_DB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="*****" password="*****" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:*****" removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="60" logAbandoned="true" maxActive="8" maxIdle="4" maxWait="2000"/> </GlobalNamingResources> </Server> 2. Added to %CATALINA_HOME%/conf/context.xml the following: <ResourceLink name="jdbc/RAM_DB" global="jdbc/RAM_DB" type="javax.sql.DataSource" /> 3. Added to %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/myWebApp/WEB-INF/web.xml the following: <resource-ref> <description> Resource reference to a factory for java.sql.Connection instances that may be used for talking to a particular database that is configured in the Context configurartion for the web application. </description> <res-ref-name> jdbc/RAM_DB </res-ref-name> <res-type> javax.sql.DataSource </res-type> <res-auth> Container </res-auth> </resource-ref> 4. Added my business library (client_bpm.jar) to %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/myWebApp/WEB-INF/lib 5. Added JDBC library (ojdbc14.jar) to %CATALINA_HOME%/lib 6. Use the following code to get a db connection: Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/RAM_DB"); Connection conn= ds.getConnection(); And the web application runs fine, i have no problems with it Now, what i want is to use the same db connection pool facility (that Tomcat provides to web applications) on my desktop application, and use the same code (or something very similar) i used in point 6 to obtain a db connection With points 1-3 Tomcat provided my web application with a db connection pooling facility I want Tomcat to provide to my desktop application the same db connection pooling facility, ¿How do i do that? I have tried invoking my desktop application with the following: java -classpath ".;%CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/myWebApp/WEB-INF/lib/client_bpm.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%/lib/catalina.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%/bin/tomcat-juli.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%/lib/ojdbc14.jar" -Djava.naming.factory.initial=org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory -Djava.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.apache.naming MyDesktopApp And got the following error: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java: is not bound in this Context at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.list(NamingContext.java:345) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.list(NamingContext.java:368) at javax.naming.InitialContext.list(InitialContext.java:436) at MyDesktopApp.main(MyDesktopApp.java:12) Any suggestions will be appreciated --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aviso Confidencial.- Este correo electrónico, así como los archivos adjuntos que contenga son confidenciales de conformidad con las leyes aplicables, y es para uso exclusivo del destinatario al que expresamente se le ha enviado.
