Kyle, Some questions are recaps I didn't see your posted answers for so bear with me, I'm trying to help:
On Tuesday you wrote that you were going to download the latest drivers from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html. Did that help or create any new error messages? I ask because Paul wrote that your driver name, pg73b1jdbc3.jar, has 'b1' in the name suggesting a beta quality driver. Just to confirm, when you use pgAdmin III, are you using the exact same username and password as your JDBC setup? I.E. using the end user database account listed in your datasource and not the admin account to connect up? You also mentioned you are using your PostgreSQL jar as a user library in Eclipse. Where is this being copied into your Tomcat deployment? Is it the Tomcat shared, Tomcat common or in the WEB-INF/lib of the webapp? What is the path in your Eclipse to that jar and what is the path in Tomcat for that jar? I ask because you mention your added it to your User Library but a User Library doesn't require the JAR to be in your webapp /WEB-INF/lib or even in a Tomcat directory. And you are still on Struts v1.1 which has the old DataSource support, not 1.2 which I don't think has that anymore, right? Until you pointed it out (thanks, it helps reduce display clutter), I hadn't tried user libraries in Eclipse before. I don't think that carries over to Tomcat when Sysdeo (which I think you wrote you use) starts Tomcat. You'd have to list that jar, if it wasn't in a relevant Tomcat directory, under windows -> preferences -> Tomcat -> JVM Settings. Right?

The only info I've found is on Tomcat's website, but doesn't mention anything about using the DataSourcePool drivers from PostgreSQL. This is what I think my files should look like based on what I've been able to find online... ===== web.xml snippet ========== <resource-ref> <description>DataSource for PostgreSQL database</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/PostgreSQL</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> ===== web.xml snippet ========== ===== context.xml snippet ========== <Resource name="jdbc/PostgreSQL" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" /> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/PostgreSQL"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>org.postgresql.Driver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:postgresql://192.168.200.10/testdb</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>username</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>password</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>20</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>-1</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandonedTimeout</name> <value>300</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> ===== context.xml snippet ========== What needs to change with these file to do like you mentioned? Do you use the same method to get a connection as you normally would? ===== snippet ========== Context initContext = new InitialContext(); Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup( "java:/comp/env" ); DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup( "jdbc/PostgreSQL" ); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); //etc. ===== snippet ========== > pgSQL rocks!
