Turns out datasource configuration is not possible using Plesk as a shared tomcat server, the guys at Plesk themselves told me. That sucks. Means I have to create and manage the Datasource in my app... minor refactoring, but not a nice way of doing it. I also use hibernate and could only get that

Why not move your hosting to an isp who provides a vps? Then you get complete control of your own tomcat; the whole thing looks and feels like you have your own server, even though you are sharing the physical machine.:w The prices I've seen are comparable to those where you have to share

Hi, I just moved my hosting from a provider where I had a private Tomcat server with complete control over it to a provider that uses Plesk and I share the Tomcat server with other users. The provider has no Tomcat knowledge in house and the Tomcat service is rarely used, so they couldn't help me

Tomcat 5.0.something. (I wanted 5.5 or 6.0, but alas) I wanted to create a JDBC Resource in the GlobalNamingResources to start with. Plesk puts the application into the server.xml something like this: Host deployXML=true name=ammetersforafrica.co.za debug=0
