Thanks for the tip. By taking the two suggestions I now have Tomcat somewhat
stabilized. I
am working on a jsp to get all the kinks worked out. I import the PoolMan packages but
I
get the following/weird error:
Method getDataSource(java.lang.String) not found in class com.codestudio.sql.PoolMan
According to the javadocs that is a valid function call
Any further ideas?
Thanks,
Matt
