Re: Datasource problem again..
yes, clearly a context file for each web app is a better / wiser choice, thanks for the advice ! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Datasource problem again..
Good point.
I've done the same, ie setup a within the of
server.xml, and defined my data-source there.
I've still got a context.xml, but it's now down to just a couple of lines
ie to specify docBase, path and a logger.
It looks like this now:
Just to make it clear what this is all about, you don't need to define a
in your server.xml.
In my case, my app is called 'isurvey', so I defined a file called
'isurvey.xml' containing the above.
I placed this file in {tomcat home}/conf/Catalina/localhost/ , and tomcat
was able to automatically detect the app.

John

Great, that's always good to hear. Also consider providing your own
context xml for each app with the war file, might save you some time
in server restarts. Unless you changed server.xml through the
administrative interface.

Re: Datasource problem again..
You can still have a context regardless of whether you auto deploy or not. See that snippet that jthopmson sent? You can deploy that with your war file, I think the name of the xml has to match the war file name if I'm not mistaken. Then you will have a context properly setup with the datasource.

Re: Datasource problem again..
If you're auto-deploying and can get the DefaultContext to work for you,
then that's what I'd do. (I'm not auto-deploying, so my case isn't so
straight-forward).
You always have the fall-back of configuring Context datasources if you run
into trouble.
There's an example of configuring a DefaultContext with a datasource here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/defaultcontext.html
This is how I've configured my data-source:
maxWait
5000
maxActive
4
password
**
url
jdbc:as400://localhost;naming=system
driverClassName
com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver
maxIdle
2
username
**
And this is how I use the data-source in java:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/as400");
I'd be interested to know how you get on with this.

John

Thx !
Since I am using Tomct 5 with auto-depoly, my Webapp DOESN'T has a

Re: Datasource problem again..
I recall reading about a month ago that setting up of data-sources in
struts-config was purely for some backwards-compatability issue, and was no
longer advised.
I haven't bothered to do it.
I set up my data source in a server.xml context, and it works fine.
Like you I'd prefer to have server-wide scope on the data-source rather
than context scope, but I haven't spent any time on it yet.
One option may be to configure the data-source as part of the
DefaultContext. I believe all other contexts inherit from a DefaultContext
if one is configured - but like I said, I haven't tried it yet.

John

Yes, it helps and I know I can get it done if I set the context
element in server.xml,
but if I set the datasource in server.xml, do I need to set the
in struts-config.xml again??
If I am right, I think if datasource is setup in server.xml, it has
the scope of entire Tomcat, that means all webapps can use that
datasource. Also it can be retrieved by JNDI.
If the datasource is setup in struts-config.xml, the scope becomes
struts only and is specific to only one webapp, and it can't be
retrieved by JNDI.
So I can setup datasource in both ways, setup in server.xml has much
more flexibilty and benifit from JNDI, why do I need to setup in
struts-config.xml??
once again, thanks, ^^

Re: Datasource problem again..
I tried using the tags in struts-config.xml, couldnt get it
work so I modified the server.xml in tomcat/conf directly. Just add a
context element as follows in your server.xml
This is my configuration:
factory
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory
maxActive
200
maxIdle
10
maxWait
20
username
(*place your username here)
password
(*place your password here)
driverClassName
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
url
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://(***place your URL
here)
Hope this helps.

Datasource problem again..
Hi !
I have try the follow to retrieve a datasource from Struts using JNDI:
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/kiss_web_news");
but it doesn't work
it is my struts-config,xml:
Do I need to modify the web.xml under $Tomcat/conf ?? It seems that
Stucts doesn't registry the datasource to JNDI and I always get a null
pointer of datasource.
any help?
Regards
