Hi guys, After reading http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html and http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html I am still trying to configure tomcat 6.0.20 to use datasources.
I could be doing something very wrong and silly but cannot realize what. Here are the relevant parts of my project: ================================================= 0. The web app is called test 1. web.xml in WEB-INF <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"> <session-config> <session-timeout> 30 </session-timeout> </session-config> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <resource-ref> <description>My postgreSQL Datasource</description> <res-ref-name>MyDS</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> </web-app> 2. context.xml in META-INF (I undeploy and redeploy the app in order to not use previous context.xml files) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/test"> <Resource name="MyDS" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" url="jdbc:postgresql://myhost:5432/mydb" username="myusername" password="mypassword" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1"/> </Context> 3. index.jsp : <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" import="java.util.*, java.io.*, javax.naming.*" %> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <TITLE>Datasource information</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY > <table > <tr><td>Name</td> <td>Exists</td> <td>Type</td> <td>toString</td> </tr> <% try { Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); String[] sources = {"MyDS"}; for (int i =0; i<sources.length; i++){ Object ds = envCtx.lookup(sources[i]); boolean exist = (null == ds); String className =(exist)?ds.getClass().getName():"NULL"; String show = (exist)?ds.toString():"NULL"; %> <tr> <td><%=sources[i]%></td> <td><%=exist%></td> <td><%=className%></td> <td><%=show%></td> </tr> <% } } catch (Exception e) { %> <tr> <td> <%= e.toString() %> </td> </tr> <% } %> </table> </BODY> </HTML> 4. The lib dir of tomcat contains the postgres JDBC driver jar. ================================================= The result that I get is when I open the index.jsp page is: Name Exists Type toString MyDS false NULL NULL What am I missing? How can I check what is going wrong?
