Re: Where to define Context element...
The Tomcat documentation lists several different places that you can define a Context element. I don't want to define it in my app's web.xml Neither should you. Web.xml has its own purpose defined by the servlet spec. My web app is in a war called mytest.war, which I deployed to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps. My web.xml has the following elements: You'll have to add a resource-ref block to this. See the tomcat JDBC howto docs for details. Otherwise it looks good. Context path=/mytest docBase=mytest debug=5 reloadable=true crossContext=true Drop the path and docBase attributes. They are at best duplicate of information tomcat can glean from other sources. You can also put this in a file named context.xml in the META-INF directory of your war file. Resource name=jdbc/mytest auth=Container type=javax.sql.DataSource maxActive=100 maxIdle=30 maxWait=1 username=javauser password=javadude driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mytest?autoReconnect=true/ Drop autoReconnect=true and replace it with a new attribute validationQuery=select 1 on the Resource element. It'll handle stale connections much better. --David Michael Burbidge wrote: I'm trying to define a JNDI resource for a datasource. The Tomcat documentation lists several different places that you can define a Context element. I don't want to define it in my app's web.xml and I don't want to modify tomcat config files. I want to define a companion file for my app, but I'm having a hard time understanding the documentation. It says the following, is one place you can define a Context element: in individual files (with a .xml extension) in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory. The name of the file (less the .xml) extension will be used as the context path. Multi-level context paths may be defined using #, e.g.context#path.xml. My web app is in a war called mytest.war, which I deployed to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps. My web.xml has the following elements: servlet servlet-namemytest/servlet-name servlet-class org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet /servlet-class load-on-startup1/load-on-startup /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-namemytest/servlet-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern /servlet-mapping I placed a file named mytest.xml in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/mytest.xml. mytest.xml contains the following: Context path=/mytest docBase=mytest debug=5 reloadable=true crossContext=true Resource name=jdbc/mytest auth=Container type=javax.sql.DataSource maxActive=100 maxIdle=30 maxWait=1 username=javauser password=javadude driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mytest?autoReconnect=true/ /Context My Context defined this way is not loaded. I've checked using the Tomcat Manager and there is no JNDI resource loaded. What am I doing wrong?

Would you like us to guess what Tomcat version you're using, or could you take the time to tell us? I don't want to define it in my app's web.xml That's good, because you can't put a Context element in web.xml; read the documentation again. Context path=/mytest docBase=mytest Neither the path nor the docBase attributes are allowed here; remove them. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, Tomcat 5.5.26. I don't want to define it in my app's web.xml That's good, because you can't put a Context element in web.xml; read the documentation again. Oops, you can make it part of the web application by putting it in / META-INF/context.xml. That's what I was thinking. Sorry. I was just thinking I didn't really want it part of my webapp. Context path=/mytest docBase=mytest Neither the path nor the docBase attributes are allowed here; remove them. What am I doing wrong?
