The attachments in my previous message got mangled. Sorry, I'm a newbie.
Here is the relevant portion of the server.xml file (the formatting in this
will probably get mangled too):
..
<DefaultContext>
<Resource name="jdbc/WroxTC5" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/WroxTC5">
<parameter><name>driverClassName</name><value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>url</name><value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/wroxtomcat</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>username</name><value>*****</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>password</name><value>*****</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>maxActive</name><value>20</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>maxIdle</name><value>30000</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>maxWait</name><value>100</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>factory</name><value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value></parameter>
</ResourceParams>
</DefaultContext>
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>
And here is the relevant portion of the web.xml file:
..
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/WroxTC5</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
</web-app>
The code in the jsp that generates the exception is line 14 of the following
snippet:
..
11: <%
12: InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
13: if( initCtx != null ) {
14: DataSource ds = (DataSource)
initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/WroxTC5");
15: Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
16: Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
17: ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select * from employee;");
..
As you can see, I'm just trying to get an example working.
Thanks again for any help,
Kevin
