Re: PoolMan woes

2001-07-05 Thread Matt Barre

One more thing to go and I think I'll be there :) My dev system uses SQL Server which
works perfectly with PoolMan currently. My prod system is running MySQL. Currently 
MySQL
gives an error saying user:'web@' not valid. I have made multiple entries in the mysql
user table for the same user...from the hosts: localhost, 127.0.0.1 etcdoesn't 
seem to
help...even have one with a blank host and one with a %.  I did some very primitive 
load
testing this afternoon with PoolMan and was really impressed. It appears to do a better
job of connection pooling than JBoss which is what I was using before this, and simply 
for
its connection pooling. Thanks for all the help so far. Anyone happen to know offhand 
why
PoolMan doesn't work with Tomcat4b5?

Matt

RE: PoolMan woes

2001-07-05 Thread Eoin Woods

Hi Matt,

PoolMan comes with a bunch of third party JAR files in the "lib"
subdirectory.  PoolMan relies upon these JAR files as well as poolman.jar.

The one you are missing here is jta.jar.

According to the PoolMan User Guide the jdbc2_0-stdext.jar, jmxri.jar,
jta.jar and xerces.jar libraries are REQUIRED.  The jmxtools.jar, ant.jar,
junit.jar and poolman-testsuite.jar files are OPTIONAL (jmxtools.jar is used
for the HTML admin agent, the rest are for development and testing).

Cheers,

Eoin.

Re: PoolMan woes

2001-07-03 Thread P.Miller

Hi Matt,

I've the same problems in the beginning (Tomcat stops without a
message).
I put the property-file in the /tomcat/classes directory and the
poolman.jar file in the classpath (set
classpath=/poolman.jar;%classpath%)
then it works.

I use findDataSource(java.lang.String) - although both are documented in the
JavaDoc.

Is poolman.jar in your CLASSPATH when you compile?  I've just tested this
with 2.0.1 and both findDataSource() and getDataSource() are found.

RE: PoolMan woes

2001-07-03 Thread Eoin Woods

We're using PoolMan 2.0.x with Tomcat 3.2.x without too many problems.

PoolMan does respond rather violently when it can't find its configuration
file - which is "poolman.xml" in version 2.  I put this in
$TOMCAT_HOME/classes and it appears to be found OK.

If PoolMan doesn't find its configuration file, it ends up throwing a
NullPointerException however, I've never seen this floor Tomcat - you just
get an exception in the logs.

How are you using PoolMan from within Tomcat?  We just import it into our
servlets and call PoolMan.findDataSource("MyDataSource") to retrieve a data
source from it and then call ds.getConnection() to force initialisation.

One difference is that we're on Solaris with JDK 1.3.1 and you have a W2K
JVM.

Re: PoolMan woes

Matt:

I ran into the same problem several days ago.  If I used the
poolman.xml.example as poolman.xml... tomcat just plain died without
warning.  No errors, nothing.

When I tried using the poolman.xml.template as poolman.xml...
it worked flawlessly.

Hope it helps,
