Many thanks for your help, I managed to set connection pooling up (however, I
don't know whether it uses conn. pooling or not...)
To help others, here are all the configurations that need to be done:
(This works with Tomcat 5.5, MySQL 5.0, Win XP SP2)
1) Place your database driver in your $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory along
with the all the required jars (commons-dbcp, commons-pool, commons-collection)
2) open your server.xml and put the following lines between
<GlobalNamingResources></GlobalNamingResources> tags (this is what I missed...)
(Modify it properly...)
<Resource name="jdbc/akr_db" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource" removeAbandoned="true"
removeAbandonedTimeout="30" maxActive="100"
maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="balazs"
password="12345"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/akr_db"/>
3) Create a context.xml file in your META-INF directory with the following
contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context>
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/akr_db" name="jdbc/akr_db"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>
(Modify it properly...)
4) Create a Java class with the following contents to get a connection from the
pool:
public class DBTest {
String foo = "Not Connected";
String bar = "Empty";
public void init() {
Connection conn = null;
Statement stmt = null; // Or PreparedStatement if needed
ResultSet rst = null;
try{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
if(ctx == null )
throw new Exception("Boom - No Context");
Context envCtx = (Context) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/akr_db");
if (ds != null) {
conn = ds.getConnection();
if(conn != null) {
foo = "Got Connection "+conn.toString();
stmt = conn.createStatement();
rst =
stmt.executeQuery(
"select ID_paciens, vezeteknev, keresztnev from
torzs_paciens");
if(rst.next()) {
foo=rst.getString(2);
bar=rst.getString(3);
}
stmt.close();
stmt = null;
conn.close();
conn = null;
rst.close();
rst = null;
}
}
}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
// Always make sure result sets and statements are closed,
// and the connection is returned to the pool
if (rst != null) {
try { rst.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }
rst = null;
}
if (stmt != null) {
try { stmt.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }
stmt = null;
}
if (conn != null) {
try { conn.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }
conn = null;
}
}
}
public String getFoo() { return foo; }
public String getBar() { return bar;}
}
5) Use the class from your JSP:
<%
db_helpers.DBTest tst = new db_helpers.DBTest();
tst.init();
%>
<h2>Results</h2>
Foo <%= tst.getFoo() %><br/>
Bar <%= tst.getBar() %>

Hi,
Sorry mate, i think you should ask this from another group like tomcat..,
hope this link would give you some help
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
Thanks,
