I'm having problems trying to set up a DataSource in META-INF/context.xml If I specify the <Resource> within a <Context> in server.xml it works fine. Similarly, if I put it into conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml it's fine, but putting it in myapp/META-INF/context.xml does not work.
I also found that if I put completely invalid xml in myapp/META-INF/context.xml, then Tomcat doesn't report this. I've googled this issue, there seem to be quite a few occurrences of this problem, but no specific solutions or recommendations. I'm using Tomcat 5.5.17 and Java 1.5.0 on Windows 2000 myapp/META-INF/context.xml is: <Context> <!-- Db connection --> <Resource name="jdbc/wdcc" auth="Container" factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/wdcc1" username="jdbc" password="andrew" removeAbandoned="true" /> </Context> Any help would be appreciated Regards Andrew Connick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
