That's precisely what I wanted to do.
I ended up writing my database information via custom XML schema into 
another file, then parse that
file and create my own DataSource with the Tomcat DataSourceFactory and 
provide that to

the JNDI of Tomcat.
Then I removed the database configuration in Tomcat and the result is: I 
now have a central point

of configuration which my program AND Tomcat can use.

Thanks for your response.
I thought maybe I overlooked something and I can access the Naming 
Resources of a running Tomcat instance

in my program.

You seem to be mixing two different kinds of connections here.  First 
you say you want to connect to another Tomcat installation.  I do that 
with HTTP connections in Java.


Then you talk about what appear to be database connections.

Or are you trying to use the database connection information in your 
tomcat installation, in a standalone java program?  I think to do that, 
you will need to read in the .xml files and parse out the information 
you want from there.





Thanks for reading.

Access tomcat instance from Java application

2015-06-20 Thread Daniel Mierswa

Good afternoon list,

I would like to know how to access a running tomcat installation from 
within another

Java application which is not running in the tomcat container.
More specifically I would like to end up using the datasource
which is configured via  in the server.xml.
This would allow me to use an existing configuration and so I wouldn't 
need to specify
the jdbc parameters and dialect etc. somewhere else to get a connection 
pool.
