Hi, I am sorry for being vague in my earlier mail. This is the background of my problem.
We developed the portal using Tomcat 5.0.28. In this version we connected to the database (SQL Server) without the JNDI lookup. I.e. get the data source from the request object. Also we configured the struts-config.xml to have the db definitions. Everything worked okay till we moved the application to staging server. The staging server has tomcat 5.5.16 and when we deployed the application as it is, we got a 404 error (Servlet action not available). So I downloaded tomcat 5.5.16 in my development machine as a stand-alone tomcat and I deployed the application in my development machine. The 404 error was fixed when I connected to the DB using JNDI lookup (by making changes to server.xml and application web.xml and the action coded to get the data source using the context). However, I am now getting a Nullpointer exception while connecting to database. Jtds is the third party jdbc driver used to connect to the SQL Server. I am totally frustrated with this problem and do not have a clue what could be wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all help.

I get a 404 when accessing the remote sql server? Are you trying to connect to a JSP page under your Tomcat? Are you running the web application in Netbeans? Did NB launch your external browser and point you to the running Tomcat instance address and port? Are you running a different version of Tomcat then the one that shipped with it? Are you actually running it in Netbeans? Have you ever used JDBC and jTDS together and that is working fine? Have you gotten it working in other web applications period? I'm on both this list and the NB list. You can ask your question there, but if it comes down to something with your configuration and Tomcat you might be directed back here. Ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (you'll need to sign up for the list). You'll need to provide some common sense basics though to help someone help you.
