Hello users, My environment: Tomcat 4.1.24, JDK 1.4.1_02, XP.
I'm attempting to move some existing jdbc initialization into my servlet's init() method which uses JNDI lookup. This is failing and yielding an exception with the message: "Name jdbc is not bound in this Context". The exception is being thrown during the call to the context lookup() method. Prior to these modifications, the same logic exists in the doGet() portion of the servlet and works just fine. My current server.xml configuration contains a DefaultContext section which contains all of my various jdbc resources since these are common to all of web-apps. By trial and error, I have found that if I make a copy of the DefaultContext content and place it as a part of *each* web-app context, then the relocated logic works in init(). However, maintaining multiple entries for each jdbc source I have is not acceptable. I've seen complaints about DefaultContext not working properly, but cannot find anyone who has a workaround for this specific issue. Has anyone seen and addressed this issue successfully?
