Hi, I am looking into using the JNDI/Datasource facility in Tomcat 5.5 to connect to a mySQL 5.0 database on a Windows 2003 server. Both Tomcat and mySQL run as services. What happens if the Tomcat service starts before mySQL? Does Tomcat wait for a while for the DB to be ready? Does it launch the apps or wait until the DB is ready?
Thanks Fred
