http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html#JDBC_Data_Sources "Use of the JDBC Data Sources JNDI Resource Factory requires that you make an appropriate JDBC driver available to both Tomcat internal classes and to your web application. This is most easily accomplished by installing the driver's JAR file(s) into the $CATALINA_HOME/lib directory, which makes the driver available both to the resource factory and to your application." My expectation is that the jars in the WAR file are not available to the Tomcat internal classes. > For that matter, I actually pull in the DBCP artifact from Maven, > because I'm developing on Grails and their embedded Tomcat instance > for development doesn't (or didn't, at least) contain DBCP. In that case, I would expect my test case to work. However, since I am still using Tomcat's DBCP machinery, I would expect my test case to fail. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
