Scott, I tried your suggestion and I am still getting the same error.
Below is the log from the context DBTest, which I setup to use the datasource. I tried another suggestion from following URL: http://www.java-internals.com/code/resourcefactory/readme.html which also defined the datasource <GlobalNamingResources> section and got a little further. The java-internals suggestion uses a different resource type and added a factory parameter that references a jar file that I had to install in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/ After tryig their suggestion I following error: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid authorization specification: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) error at

Is that server.xml snippet in <GlobalResourceParams> or its own <Context>? It needs to be in its own <Context>. Also, where are your username and password defined? I'm using 4.1.24, and I get a message in catalina.out if I leave those out (they should be defined in the <ResourceParams> as parameters). According to some other questions I've seen about this, that error often comes up due to a permissions problem with MySQL - does the user you're using have access rights (in MySQL) for the db? -- Lynn Hollerman. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
