Hi all. I'm using Oracle 10g with Tomcat 5.5 and Struts 1.2.9. I'd like to set up connection pooling for my application. I've read the Tomcat "HOW-TO" on setting up a JNDI Datasource for connection pooling, but one thing confuses me - In the how-to, it states "Configure the JNDI DataSource in Tomcat by adding a declaration for your resource to $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml.
Add this in between the </Context> tag of the examples context and the </Host> tag closing the localhost definition. If there is no such tag, you can add one as illustrated in the Context and Host configuration references..." However, in "The Context Container" documentation referenced in the above article it states "Please note that for tomcat 5, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. Instead, put them in the META-INF/context.xml directory of your WAR file or the conf directory" So where do I place this <Context> element containing my resource that describes the datasource? Also, if the datasource is set up through Tomcat - is it then visible in Struts? I'd imagine in would be through the JNDI, but I want to make sure it's not in some "other context" that struts can't see.
