Problem #1: Send us the URL so we can see the syntax... (e.g. a proper mssql url looks like: String loginUrl = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databasename=Northwind;user=sa;pa ssword=xyz";
Problem #2: There has to be a context-param setting somewhere causing the problem, look for further info in the logs for identifying the file, could it be the main web.xml configuration, -----Original Message----- From: Caroline J Tanneberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Viernes, 30 de Julio de 2004 01:49 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [tomcat] jdbc and tomcat Hello, I have got a problem with my Servlet which uses a JDBC database connection to a Ms SQL Server There is a getConnection command that should be executed. But this command fails and throws the exception with description: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC] Unable to connect. Invalid URL. is thrown. I dont know, what went wrong. Why cant the driver be found, although I have all driver jars in my classpath and also in the lib folder in the WEB_INF folder of the corresponding Addressbook-webapp in Tomcat? also I have another problem: Except of the SQL Errors there are other parsing errors , starting with SEVERE... while tomcat is starting up, which I cannot identify. . The message is: The end-tag for element type "context-param" must end with a '>' delimiter. First of all, all my tags of the application ended in '>' and secondly I removed the Webapplication folder for the specific webapp that was using a web.xml with context-params and replaced it with another webapp which has all its configuration parameters hard-wired in the code. Also I removed the Context file of the former webapp from conf\Catalina\localhost, but still it exists somewhere and causes errors. Then I tried to clean them up by making a new installation of Tomcat, but I couldn't uninstall the old one. Maybe you have an idea. Help! thanx, Caroline --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
