Tomcat 5.0.something. (I wanted 5.5 or 6.0, but alas)
I wanted to create a JDBC Resource in the
GlobalNamingResources to start with. Plesk puts the
application into the server.xml something like this:
<Host deployXML="true" name="ammetersforafrica.co.za"
debug="0"
appBase="psa-webapps/ammetersforafrica.co.za"
unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="true"
liveDeploy="true">
<Context crossContext="false"
reloadable="false" useNaming="true" debug="0"
swallowOutput="false" privileged="true"
displayName="Tomcat Manager Application"
docBase="/usr/share/tomcat5/server/webapps/manager"
cookies="true" path="/manager" cachingAllowed="true"/>
<Realm
className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm"
debug="0"
pathname="psa-users/ammetersforafrica.co.za.xml"
validate="true"/>
</Host>
So in the Context definition, I would want to put a
ResourceLink setting to the Global Resource. But, as I
said, it would mean everyone has access to it.
I do have the Resource in my META-INF/context.xml, but
it seems like Plesk/Tomcat just ignores whatever is it
in, Tomcat probably reads the server.xml configuration
for the app and doesn't look at the context.xml after
that?
