i make a backup of everything (with date extension appended) e.g. web.xml becomes web.xml.22052009
once you have a clean copy configure Datasource as applicationContext-jdbc.xml web.xml contents: <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-jdbc.xml</param-value> applicationContext-jdbc.xml contents: <beans> <!-- Configurer that replaces ${...} placeholders with values from a properties file --> <!-- (in this case, JDBC-related settings for the dataSource definition below) --> <bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"> <property name="location" value="/WEB-INF/jdbc.properties"/> </bean> <!-- Simple local DataSource that works in any environment. This uses the JDBC DriverManager to obtain connections, and does NOT perform connection pooling. Connection pooling is essential to all real-world applications. This definition is good for getting started, as it introduces no dependencies beyond the JDK, but DriverManagerDataSource is not intended for production usage. reconfigure this to the DataSource you are using..for the meanwhile we'll use Spring--> <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"> <property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/> <property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}"/> <property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}"/> <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/> </bean> hth Martin ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
