Chris, I found I could use a ResourceLink element and put it in my context.xml file. The name in that ResourceLink is the name of resource that I have fully defined in my server.xml. Sot the context.xml points to the fully define resource which is in my server.xml
So snippet from my context.xml file is............. <Context > <Resources allowLinking="true" /> <ResourceLink name="jdbc/app-pool" global="jdbc/app-pool" type="javax.sql.DataSource" /> And snippet from my server.xml is......... <Server port="18105" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> <GlobalNamingResources> <Resource name="jdbc/app-pool" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" url="jdbc:postgresql://xxxxxxxxx" username="xxxxx" password="xxxxxx" maxTotal="30" maxIdle="30" maxWaitMillis="-1" removeAbandonedOnBorrow="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="90" testOnBorrow="true" validationQuery="select 1" validationQueryTimeout="30000" testWhileIdle="true" timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="60000" testOnReturn="true" /> Rick Noel Systems Programmer | Westwood One rn...@westwoodone.com -----Original Message----- From: Rick Noel Sent: Friday, March 29, 2024 11:57 AM To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Subject: RE: [EXT]Re: how to define database resource in just context.xml or server.xml If have the resource defined in CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml And CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml Rick Noel Systems Programmer | Westwood One rn...@westwoodone.com -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2024 11:47 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: [EXT]Re: how to define database resource in just context.xml or server.xml Rick, On 3/29/24 09:48, Rick Noel wrote: > Can someone tell me why I need to have my database source defined in > both my context.xml and server.xml?

The one in CATALINA_BASE/context.xml or the one in your application's META-INF/context.xml? Have you defined your <Context> in CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml, or are you using only META-INF/context.xml? -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.
