I've been trying out many different avenues to make this work and finally found the following bug, hopefully this will save other people some time:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg64410.html which says: >And finally i find the solution,that is to remove all Naming-*.jar out >from /%myapp_home%/WEB-INF/lib.I firmly think there's some disorder with >tomcat classloader.In other words,ClassLoader may not check which class to >be >loader first and which to be loaded second and which have already be loaded! -Ken ________________________________ From: Ken Hall Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 3:41 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: tomcat 5.5 and jndi context naming error Since downloading the new version of Tomcat 5.5.4, I have been experiencing problems with jndi resources within my web app. I am porting over from an existing server where that resource is working. The error is listed at the bottom. I saw in the release notes that naming-common.jar (JNDI Context implementation) is one of the required files but it does not appear to be included in the download. When I include it from a previous release, it appears to not like it. When I leave it out, it can not find the jndi context either. java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.naming.NamingContextBindingsEnumeration. <init>(Ljava/util/Iterator;)V at org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext.listBindings(FileDirContex t.java:335) at org.apache.naming.resources.ProxyDirContext.listBindings(ProxyDirCont ext.java:515) at org.apache.catalina.util.ExtensionValidator.validateApplication(Exten sionValidator.java:178) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3 934) Here is my set up. Any help is greatly appreciated. I can't do anything with this release till this is solved. Thanks! -Ken Hall According to the docs, the preferred method is not messing with the server.xml but creating an "application.xml". I've tried both name value pairs and resource parameters. This is done and placed in the conf\Catalina\localhost directory: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Context docBase="c:/jakarta-tomcat-5.5/webapps/myapp" path="/myapp" workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\myapp"> <Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/myapp" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/myapp"> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>5000</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>6</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>xx</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>xx</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://server:1433/myapp</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>2</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> </Context> In my app's web.xml I have: </servlet-mapping> <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>jdbc/myapp</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> <welcome-file-list> My application is referencing the context like this: InitialContext initContext = new javax.naming.InitialContext(); Context envContext=(Context)initContext.lookup("java:comp/env"); DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/myapp"); //Error upon calling context SEVERE: Null component Catalina:type=DataSource,path=/myapp,host=localhost,class=javax.sql.Data Source,name="jdbc/myapp" Unable to connect to myapp database.
