With apologies for top-posting,

I believe that this is now getting a bit confusing, in terms of Java and Tomcat versions, and in terms of where you want to run this on. I suggest that you start by looking at which highest version of Java you can install on your target machine, and then look at the corresponding highest Tomcat version you can install. If your target machine is the Ubuntu one, then use "apt-cache search java" and "apt-cache search tomcat" to find these out.
Then refer to : http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html
to see which versions to install (the higher the better), and do it.
Then maybe start a new thread, indicating clearly
- the chosen OS
- the chosen java
- the chosen Tomcat version x.y.z
and re-state your latest questions.

I saw one response in the current thread (by Jason D. Burket) which seemed quite specific and detailed. So once you have done the above installation (and before writing again to the list), why don't you give that one a try, and come back and report your success or failure. And if it fails, paste the corresponding Tomcat log messages.

Why shouldn't it ? As long as there is a java for it, Tomcat will run on it.
Check out : http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html
But there is a contraduction then between the subject of the mails you have 
been posting,
and the version/documentation which you are using.
And I know that this does not answer your questions.
I was just trying to point out that the closer you are to the current latest 
released
version, the more likely you are to find more people to help you on this list.

Thanks for the prompt..

I have been looking at the doc s and have my .jar file for postgres in the
lib folder.

I do not understand where the <Context>
<Resource name="jdbc/postgres..."

Is supposed to go.

Im reading at
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-
examples-howto.html


If your version is Tomcat 7, then maybe you should look at the Tomcat 7
documentation, not the v 6 one.

In any case, even Tomcat 7 is somewhat old now.  Can you upgrade to a
later version ? That might increase your chances of getting help here.


This author has not had success here...

This doesn't inspire confidence  here,  but that's what the documentation
shows...


Sorry, but personally my expertise in these matters is nil, so I hope
someone else here can pick this up now.

Thanks.

I can now deploy my servlets and they work ok, but..

I had hoped to just deploy one copy of the postgres jar to my server and
then be able to consume it inside multiple applications, instead of
having
multiple copies of the jar in multiple apps.

I've been through the JNDI portion of the docs on Tomcat and found it
still
somewhat confusing.

Andy...


I am far from an expert on this kind of thing, but have you looked at
this :

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/globalresources.html

Maybe that is the missing link in your understanding ?

Andrew,

this list strips most kinds of attachments, so nobody saw your
screenshots
or whatever was in them.
You need to copy/paste that text right into your message to the list
(amd
make sure that you send your message as "plain text", not HTML,
otherwise
it will be unreadable.

Well,

This has not turned out how I wanted it to .

I have 'a solution' but it isnt what I wanted to do.  I went back and
re
added the .jar file to the 'WEB-INF' folder and then deployed a new WAR
file.

Now things work just 'fine' BUT I suspect that this is not what a real
coder would do and suspect I am still in the realms of hackery..

The best place to start would be to look at tomcat's logs for
exceptions

or errors.

Hello,

Im working on getting java servlets to run on my instance of Ububtu
with
tomcat7.

I write my applications in Eclipse.. when i run my apps localhost i
see
everything just fine.

When i export my WAR files i check the includ source files.

I deploy the WAR file through tomcat manager.

I can see the java classes which i use to insert records into my
postgresql
database. However,  there is nothing happening.  When i attempt  to
run
them, no joy.

I have the postgresql .jar file installed on my headless ubuntu
server
,
but no luck.

Aside from the .jar file is there anything else i need to configure?

Any advice is welcome

Andy
