This is obviously if you are not using JNDI to lookup a datasource.

Within a servlet I use the following:
public class activateArticle extends HttpServlet {
public String DRIVER, URL, USER, PASS, message; public void init() throws ServletException { ServletContext context = getServletContext(); DRIVER = context.getInitParameter("DRIVER"); URL = context.getInitParameter("URL"); USER = context.getInitParameter("USER"); PASS = context.getInitParameter("PASS"); }

If I have a datasource in the context-param area of the web.xml file, how can it be called?
<context-param> <param-name>jdbcDataSource</param-name> <param-value>java:comp/env/jdbc/RestaurantDS</param-value> </context-param>
pageContext. getServletContext().getInitParameter("insert-context-param-name-here");
Doesn't work here...
.... private void initialize() { try { Context ctx = null; DataSource ds = null; Connection conn = null; Result result = null; try { ctx = new InitialContext(); ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/RestaurantDS"); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("DataSource context lookup failed: " + e); } try { conn = ds.getConnection(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("DataSource getConnection failed: " + e); e.printStackTrace(); }
