Title: RE: DBtaglibs problem connecting via JNDI

I had this same issue with JRun 3.1.  I wrote my own connection tag to get around this issue and figured it would be worked out in the final version of DBTags.

I'd expect that you have a problem with your connection pool.  Try testing it outside of the tag library.  Make sure that the name you look up exists.  Check if the DataSource is null.  Check if the connection returned from the datasource is null.  I had a problem with the Datasource returning null Connections because my JDBC drivers were not being loaded.

Subject: DBtaglibs problem connecting via JNDI

I´m using Tomcat 4.0 and I would like to use DBTaglibs in my JSPs. I´ve tried with a test page and it works when I use url, driver, user and password attributes in the connection tag.

But I would like to connect via JNDI and then it fails:

    NullPointerException in apache.org....ConnectionTag.doStartTag

I´ve defined an entry in my server.xml file for the JNDI lookup and it seems to be correct.

Any ideas about what can be hapenning?

Thanks in advance,
