I'm in the process of moving an application that is in production today on a TC 4.1.30 deployment over to 5.5.
So far, everything has moved without too much trouble. That is, until I get to the use of commons-dbcp in the code. The code uses BasicDataSource to interface to commons-dbcp. Under 4.1.30 (and I believe 5.0 as well...) I can do: Context ctx = new InitialContext(); BasicDataSource ds = (BasicDataSource)ctx.lookup("jndi string"); And I would get a data source. Under 5.5.7 and 5.5.9, ctx.lookup() throws an Exception. BUT, neither getMessage() nor getCause() return anything legit (both return NULL). My setup requires me to run TC with -security. Using -verbose:class and -Djava.security.debug=access,failure (THANKS Jon Wingfield!), I've determined that TC 5.5.7 and 5.5.9 are loading everything and that I have permission to access the various modules [Opened /usr/java/Tomcat/common/endorsed/commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar] [Opened /usr/java/Tomcat/common/endorsed/mysql-connector-java-3.0.12-production-bin.jar] access: access allowed (java.io.FilePermission /usr/java/Tomcat/common/endorsed/commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar read) access: access allowed (java.io.FilePermission /usr/java/Tomcat/common/endorsed/mysql-connector-java-3.0.12-production-bin.jar read) access: access allowed (java.io.FilePermission /usr/java/Tomcat/common/lib/naming-factory-dbcp.jar read) [Loaded org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory] But I don't get anything legit out of ctx.lookup() :( I'd like to see if I can debug this to isolate *where* things are going a-stray... Can anyone set my on the correct path? A search of this list hasn't revealed anything *other* than my JNDI string is incorrect (I can deploy the same WAR to 4.1.30 and 5.0 and it works - so I suspect my environment and possibly TC 5.5 and the -security setting...)
