Is the Context associated with a Host? I tried and example as shown here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html and it works fine. I think the same instructions work for Tomcat 5.5.x as well.
My server.xml <Host name="connectionpooling" appBase="webapps/ConnectionPooling"> <Context path="" docBase="C:/dev/projects/ConnectionPooling" reloadable="true" debug="true"> <Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="javauser" password="javadude" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/javatest?autoReconnect=true"/> </Context> </Host> -Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
