what i did is:
in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml added the <Resource> inside a
<DefaultContext> ('cause i want it available to all webapps)
in the $CATALINA_HOME/commons/lib i put the jdbc driver and dbcp's jar (it
must be available to tomcat when starting up the default context)
in the WEB-INF/web.xml i declare the resources requirements for each webappit works r ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erik Price" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 4:54 PM Subject: DBCP usage w/servlets > I found a promising-looking post in the archives about using DBCP in a > Tomcat-based servlet environment: > > http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg67843.html > > Unfortunately, the link to the source code (the "meat" of the post) is > broken.
