Sorry, but you're providing too few informations. - please post the file /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/webappName.xml (masquerade the user-id / password!)
- please post the piece of code where the said webapp tries to create the database-connection. should looke similar to <code> try { Context env = (Context) new InitialContext() .lookup("java:comp/env"); dbDS = (DataSource) env.lookup(dataSourceName); if (dbDS == null) { logger.error("seems that '" + dataSourceName + "' is an unknown DataSource"); throw new ServletException("'" + dataSourceName + "' is an unknown DataSource"); } } catch (NamingException e) { logger.error("Exception caught:", e); throw new ServletException(e); } </code> My guess is, that within the app's code, the connection to the database is not established to the said datasource but that somewhere "localhost" is hardcoded.... *sic* So have a chat with the webapp-developer and let us have a look at the code.
