This tells me a lot:  > Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver

Make sure the driver .jar file is in common/lib and the driverClassName parameter of your <ResourceParams> element references the correct driver class (don't use a DataSource class here). In your case, I think that should be 'com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver'. If you move the driver file into common/lib, restart Tomcat so it can see the jar file.

Hi all,

Tomcat 5.0.28 with Pointbase - Trying to obtain a database connection from the DataSource.

I saw a zillion places in the web where they've discussed a problem quite similar to the exception shown below BUT, none exactly like what I'm experiencing. And by the way, I couldn't even find one case where they were trying to connect with Pointbase. I followed documentation from all over the web, but I don't see anything that I could be missing. To explain, many have complained about null values for class and URL in the exception message that you see below, but I don't have that problem. What could be wrong?

  I have spent 5 hours trying to fix this.

(It is not even a case of the JDBC driver not being located as I get a different error message when I remove the JDBC driver .jar files (pbclient.jar). Pointbase is up and running on port 9092. Funny thing is the same error message comes up whether Pointbase is running or not.)

  Please HELP !!
