Thanks for your advice so far
I've upgraded to the latest Oracle ojdbc14.jar and placed it the
myapp\WEB-INF\lib folder, I also tried it the
Tomcat\common\lib for for good measure but still got the same results. I'll
continue to use ojdbc14.jar from now
though.
I've change the ResourceParams name to just Resource name but this causes
Tomcat not to startup, the logs show the
following trace...
*** Excerpt Tomcat 5.5.12 logs ***
16-Aug-2007 16:08:32 org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester endElement
SEVERE: End event threw exception
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
at
sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)
*** end ***
Does this mean it's now reading the <context> <Resource> element. ?
Thanks
Ian
