Subject: Connecting Tomcat to a database

I need t connect Tomcat to a database

What version of Tomcat?  What JVM?  What platform are you running Tomcat on?

Sorry was in a haste, forgot much more than this. :-/
- Tomcat 7.0.0
- Java 1.6 Update 20
- Windows XP SP3
- Wanted to use DB for Apache ODE 2.0 Beta


server.xml (inside the<Host>-Element):
------------------------------------------------------
<Context path="/TestDB" docBase="TestDB" debug="5" reloadable="true"

Extremely bad practice to put<Context>  elements in server.xml.  The proper location 
is in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file.  When you do so, remove the path and docBase 
attributes, since they're not allowed when you have<Context>  in a proper location.  
Also, the debug attribute hasn't been used in years, so get rid of that as well.

That's how it was shown here: http://ode.apache.org/war-deployment.html (that was [1] btw). What's the best solution for this?

<Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"7

What's that 7 hanging on the end?

May I typed it while pasting it into the message, but in the code there's no 7.

After I did this, Tomcat didn't work anymore. I even can't
debug it, because the Tomcat window dissapears to fast.

Look in the Tomcat logs.  Also start Tomcat with "catalina.bat run" (or "catalina.sh 
run", depending on the platform - which you didn't tell us); this will run Tomcat in the 
current command window.

Where can I find them? "startup.bat" run didn't work. Tomcat is still started in another window.
