Have you defined a reference to the global resource in the <ResourceLink> element of the application context ?
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/09/04 10:38AM >>> I have an Oracle JDBC datasource that I defined in the Tomcat5 context for an application (conf/Catalina/localhost/nwg.xml). Works fine, context file listed below. But when I tried to move the datasource to the <GlobalNamingResources> section of server.xml so that it would be accessible to all apps it gets recognized in the admin console, but not by the application. What gives? I thought a Global resource is supposed to function identically to an application resource. Any help would be greatly welcomed. nwg.xml: <Resource auth="Container" name="rcfDS" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="rcfDS"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostNameHere:portNumberHere:dbNameHere</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>usernameHere</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>userpasswordHere</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>20</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>-1</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>logAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> Note: The JDBC driver is ojdbc14.jar and is present in common/lib, the application's WEB-INF/lib and is present also in the JRE's lib/ext for unrelated JAAS reasons.
