Well folks, I never would have figured that out on my own. I copied and modified both a new BasicDataSourceFactory and BasicDataSource and referenced it properly. It worked out.
Thanks again for your quick and friendly replies! I'll stay subscribed to this list for sure! Cheerio, Jevin On 7/4/07, David Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Tomcat uses commons-beanutils to set all the parameters of org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource (or actually tomcat's own refactored copy of it) with the attributes found in the Resource element in server.xml or one of the context.xml files. I think Johnny is right ... set up your own db pool. You could even pull the same trick with commons-beanutils that tomcat does, just catch where it gets to the password and handle that separately. It's easier and then your webapp can be more self contained and container independent. --David Johnny Kewl wrote: > Jevin, my curiousity got the better of me, and I tried to find it for > you.... > Can see TC loading up the resource in the ResourceFactory, but it just > seems that nowhere does it actually read the password and pass it into > DBCP.... > I havnt checked, but I have a feeling that the DBCP module gets the > password directly from the configuration.....
