HI there,
According to the tomcat online document, do I have to modify the context.xml file? $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml with the following new setup: <Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="javauser" password="javadude" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/javatest?autoReconnect=true"/> where username/password is the root/admin user/password of the mysql database? thanks > ----- Original Message ----- > From: David Smith > Sent: 28/08/08 03:06 am > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Can't execute servlet project > > The datasource for your webapp isn't setup correctly.
