I was following the database faq. http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/database.html
I was using the BasicDataSource from dbcp as the GenericDataSource is deprecated. They faq suggests using the BasicDataSource, which depends on commons-pooling and commons-dbcp. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it. I was told that someone updated the faq with my commnents so all is well. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Raeburn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 2:57 PM To: Struts Developers List Subject: RE: Should Struts ship with all of the commons jar files needed to get Struts datasources working? Rick, What DataSource are you trying to set-up? GenericDatSource in struts-legacy.jar is independent of DBCP so you shouldn't need those jars. The following configuration works for me, even when I remove commons-dbcp and commons-pooling jars from tomcat (4.1.29) <data-source type="org.apache.struts.legacy.GenericDataSource"> <set-property property="driverClass" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/> <set-property property="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"/> <set-property property="user" value="root"/> <set-property property="password" value=""/> </data-source> You don't really need the type property, since GenericDataSource is the default.
