We are about to start testing the jdbc connection pooling capabilities within tomcat. I don't have any control over the application instead perform only administrative duties. Between the developers and myself we have done a good bit of research and mapped out a decent plan but there is one unresolved dispute between us. The developer says that the jar file containing the database driver should be published within the web applications WEB-INF/lib folder while I say it should be in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. Who is right and why?
We hoped to define the datasource as a Resource within a DefaultContext element in the server.xml so it is available to all web applications. Is this good practice? I'd like to know of some ways you folks have done it too if you've got the time. Also any gotchas to look out for with connection pooling would be helpful from those who have actually done it. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
