We have been trying for over a week to solve this problem. It doesn't help that we haven't used tomcat before, but our application works fine on WebSphere. So I guess that it some configuration that we are missing. We are trying to configure tomcat (4.1.24) to do a jndi lookup of a DataSource which is a db2 jdbc app driver.
The Tomcat server.xml had a sample jdbc configuration which was modified to the following... <Resource name="jdbc/SURESWIT" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/SURESWIT"> <parameter><name>user</name><value>xxxx</value></parameter> <parameter><name>password</name><value>yyyy</value></parameter> <parameter><name>driverClassName</name> <value>COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver</value></parameter> <parameter><name>driverName</name> <value>jdbc:db2:SWPPDB2</value></parameter> </ResourceParams> The web.xml includes <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>jdbc/SURESWIT</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> The Java code performs the following :- if (ds == null) { try { Context ctx = new InitialContext(); ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup(("jdbc/SURESWIT"); ctx.close(); } catch (Exception e) { logger.text( IRecordType.TYPE_ERROR_EXC, className, "init(ServletConfig)", "Naming service exception:" + e.toString()); } } When the above code runs it throws the following exception init(ServletConfig) Naming service exception:javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context I have copied the DB2 jdbc driver file to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib (I copied it both as .zip and .tar as some web resources suggested tomcat would only recognise it as .tar) ANY and I mean ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Even if it's to say it doesn't work with tomcat.
