I'm running * Tomcat 5.0.18 running as a Wndows service, * MySQL 4.0.16 running as a Windows service, and * MySQL Connector/J 3.0.10 stable all on Windows 2000 Server, which is where I'm also doing the testing (i.e., on localhost).
A number of tomcat-user mailing list denizens have given me snippets of XML to put in various places. Nothing worked. So I tried following the "MySQL Configuration" example from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html. After all changes were made to server.xml, web.xml and timesheet.xml (the <context> fragment under conf/Catalina/localhost), I restarted Tomcat and tried to login (the first action that would have had to touch the MySQL database). I got the following errorPage: > At Timesheet.Util.errorPage(Util.java:550) there occurred a > java.lang.Exception: A fatal exception occurred while retrieving login name and pass > phrase because... > > At Timesheet.Util.getSqlConnection(Util.java:492) there occurred a > java.lang.Exception: Unable to establish a MysqlDataSource connection for > ResourceLine name "jdbc/TimesheetsDB" >because... > > At org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:814) there occurred a > javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context OK, that seems to say it doesn't know what the name "jdbc/TimesheetsDB" is. Tomcat has written nothing to stderr.log and stdout.log shows a clean startup, so Tomcat itself isn't too perturbed. stdout.log includes the following line: > INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:C:\Program Files\Apache > Group\Tomcat 5.0.18\conf\Catalina\localhost\timesheet.xml implying that my timesheet.xml context fragment file was found and processed. The Timesheet application log file contains the following: > 2004-02-10 16:20:05 NamingContextListener[/Catalina/localhost/timesheet]: Resource > parameters for jdbc/TimesheetsDB = ResourceParams[name=jdbc/TimesheetsDB, > parameters={factory=org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory, > url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/Timesheets?autoReconnect=true&socketFactory=com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory, > password=All41a14all, maxWait=10000, maxActive=100, > driverClassName=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver, username=timesheet_app, maxIdle=30}] > 2004-02-10 16:20:05 NamingContextListener[/Catalina/localhost/timesheet]: Adding > resource ref jdbc/TimesheetsDB > 2004-02-10 16:20:05 NamingContextListener[/Catalina/localhost/timesheet]: > ResourceRef[className=javax.sql.DataSource,factoryClassLocation=null,factoryClassName=org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory,{type=scope,content=Shareable},{type=auth,content=Container},{type=factory,content=org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory},{type=url,content=jdbc:mysql://localhost/Timesheets?autoReconnect=true&socketFactory=com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory},{type=password,content=All41a14all},{type=maxWait,content=10000},{type=maxActive,content=100},{type=driverClassName,content=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver},{type=username,content=timesheet_app},{type=maxIdle,content=30}] > 2004-02-10 16:20:05 NamingContextListener[/Catalina/localhost/timesheet]: Resource > parameters for UserTransaction = null [Blank lines added for clarity.] As per the instructions in the jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html page, my web.xml file has the following addition > <resource-ref> > <description>MySql Connection Pool</description> > <res-ref-name>jdbc/TimesheetsDB</res-ref-name> > <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> > <res-auth>Container</res-auth> > </resource-ref> immediately after the <error-page> element and immediately before the <security-constraint> element. Now that I am using the timesheet.xml <context> fragment file, server.xml is unchanged except that I have modified it to use port 80 in place of 8080 and port 443 in place of 8443. The timesheet.xml <context> fragment file looks like this: <Context path="/timesheet" docBase="timesheet" debug="9" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" displayName="ConnectTel Timesheet Application"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_timesheet_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/> <Resource name="jdbc/TimesheetsDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/TimesheetsDB"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <!-- max db connections in the pool --> <value>100</value> <!-- 0 implies no limit --> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <!-- max idle db connections to retain in pool --> <value>30</value> <!-- 0 implies no limit --> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <!-- max wait for connection before throwing exception --> <value>10000</value> <!-- -1 implies no limit (time is in milliseconds) --> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>timesheet_app</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>xxxxxxxxxxx</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/Timesheets?autoReconnect=true&socketFactory=com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <!-- Class name for mm.mysql JDBC driver --> <value>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> </Context> I apologize for being so verbose, but I'm trying to provide all of the relevant information in the initial message. Does anyone see what I've missed? The example in jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html does NOT look like the other things I was told to do. (?)
