I'm a bit confused on your code:

       try{
           // load the driver class file
           //Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
           //establishing the connection
           if(con == null){
               ll.add("Inside 1st try. Connection object found to be
null");


Why are you doing a Class.forName call after getting a datasource object? I think you're mixing incompatible database access methods. Try doing dataSource.getConnection() after getting a valid datasource instead. You'll be happier with the result. Take a look at the javadocs for javax.sql.DataSource for more info.

Hi friends,
Thanks for your previous feedback. After adding several
logging statements in my code, I have found that connection object is
null. But dataSource object is not null. What can be reason for it??
Here is how I use it in my code--
public LinkedList testFunction(){
LinkedList ll = null; Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
DataSource dataSource = null;
try{
Context init = new InitialContext();
Context ctx = (Context) init.lookup("java:comp/env");
dataSource = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/conversion");
ll.add("dataSource object is");
ll.add(dataSource);
}
catch(NamingException e){
System.out.println("Exception thrown is"+e.getMessage());
ll.add("Naming Exception thrown");
} finally{
if(dataSource == null){


ll.add("DataSource object is null");
return ll;
}
else{
ll.add("Data source object is not null");
// return ll;
}
}
try{
// load the driver class file
//Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
//establishing the connection
if(con == null){
ll.add("Inside 1st try. Connection object found to be
null");
}
else{
ll.add("Inside 1st try. Connection object is not nul");
con = dataSource.getConnection(); stmt = con.createStatement();
....
}
finally{
if(con == null){
ll.add("Connection object is null");
// return ll;
}
----------------------Here is the output that I can see on my jsp page,
where I try to print out the linklist obtained from the function above.


elements of link list read from database are -[dataSource object is,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], Data source object is
not null, Inside 1st try. Connection object found to be null, Connection
object is null]




Thanks.

Subject: RE: DB connection pool problem


 I have just created a "pool" -- I hope it is really a pool. I used
jtds
jdbc driver to MS SQL Server on Windows. You may find some thing
similar.
Holp it helps.

1) bellow is the text in tomcat\conf\server.xml
<GlobalNamingResources>
 <Resource name="jdbc/DirectSQL" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
  <ResourceParams name="jdbc/DirectSQL">
    <parameter>
      <name>factory</name>
      <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value>
    </parameter>

    <parameter>
      <name>maxActive</name>
      <value>255</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>maxIdle</name>
      <value>10</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>maxWait</name>
      <value>10000</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
     <name>username</name>
     <value>user1</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
     <name>password</name>
     <value>passwd1</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
       <name>driverClassName</name>
       <value>net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>url</name>
      <value>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://serverName:1433</value>
    </parameter>
  </ResourceParams>
 ...

2) bellow is the text in tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\ROOT.XML --I
create
this file by myself
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0" privileged="true">

 <!-- Link to the user database using dbc:jtds:sqlserver -->
<ResourceLink name="jdbc/DirectSQL" global="jdbc/DirectSQL"
               type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>
This "name" is used in Java code. "global" is the name in xml file. they
can
be different.

3) my test jsp file is in \tomcat\webapps\ROOT\zuo\

                Context ctx = new InitialContext();
                if (ctx == null) {
                        throw new Exception("Boom - No Context");
                }
                DataSource ds = (DataSource)
ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/DirectSQL");
                if (ds != null)
                con = ds.getConnection();
                if (con != null){
                        str = "select * from myTable";
                        pStateSearch = con.prepareStatement(str,
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY );
                        rs = pStateSearch.executeQuery();
                        ....

That's all.

Subject: DB connection pool problem


Hi, I am also having the problem with the connection pools. Since I am writing an application first time by using connection pools, I created a test application DBTest. I edited my server.xml and web.xml (of my application in following way-- #added to server.xml <Context path="/DBTest" docBase="DBTest" debug="0" reloadable="true"> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/conversion"> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>ROOT</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>PASSWORD</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/DB</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> </Context>

#web.xml
<web-app>
   <description>MySQL Test App</description>
 <resource-ref>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/conversion</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>
</web-app>
And I added the following statements to my Java class, (which works
fine, when I use the connection objects by hardcoding the username and
db).--

Context init = new InitialContext();
Context ctx = (Context) init.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/conversion");

But even after, making these changes, I cannot read any thing from
database. I was wondering what more changes I need to made. I also tried
to run my JAVA class (DAO) from command line, but I get the following
exception--

Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an
applet parameter, or in an application resource file:
java.naming.factory.initial

I tried to print outs the place where exception occurs in my code and
found that exception occurs at
dataSource = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/conversion");

Can any body please comment on whats going on wrong? When I run from
command line, is tomcat used, I don't think so? So where is the problem?
Any ideas??
