Yes. The layout looked like this, except I did place the postgres driver in the lib directory. In additions, I place the postgre driver in both [tomcat home]/lib and [tomcat home]/lib/common
The full picture looks like below: |[tomcat home] | - conf | - server.xml | - webapps | - someApp (case IS important!) | - META-INF | - context.xml | - (various jsps/static files) | - WEB-INF | - web.xml | - lib | - (the postgres driver is HERE) | - lib | - postgres driver | - lib | - common | - postgres driver Stanley -----Original Message----- From: David Smith [mailto:d...@cornell.edu] Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 1:16 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: FW: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null' Stanley Wong wrote: > Thank you. > > I can tell this is an error related to Tomcat/JNDI set-up, as I can make > a JDBC connection, as the codes state below. > > Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); > String url = "jdbc:postgresql:testdb"; > Properties props = new Properties(); > props.setProperty("user","username"); > props.setProperty("password","password"); > conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props); > > I change the following url setting > url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/testdb" > to > url="jdbc:postgresql:testdb" > and I have the same error. > > I remove the META-INF/context.xml, and modify the <Host> node of tge > server.xml as shown below: > > <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" > unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" > xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> > > <Context path="/someApp" docBase="someApp" debug="0" > reloadable="true"> > <Resource > name="jdbc/postgres" > type="javax.sql.DataSource" > password="linux4draco" > driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" > maxIdle="2" > maxWait="5000" > validationQuery="SELECT 1" > username="gepguser" > url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost/testdb" > maxActive="4"/> > </Context> > </Host> > > And, I have the same error. > > What else could I try? > > Stanley > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Smith [mailto:d...@cornell.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 12:44 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: FW: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL > 'null' > > Stanley Wong wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I encounter a problem regarding setting up a JNDI Datasource at Tomcat >> 6.0 with PostgreSQL 8.1 under Linux Suse 10.3 environment.

And I take it you have also restarted tomcat between all these attempts to make sure the changes are loaded? Does your file layout look like this where your webapp under tomcat is concerned? |[tomcat home] | - conf | - server.xml | - webapps | - someApp (case IS important!) | - META-INF | - context.xml | - (various jsps/static files) | - WEB-INF | - web.xml | - lib | - (the postgres driver is NOT here) --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
