NOT in the WEB-INF/lib -- put in the common/lib - that's where it goes. You might get very erratic performance putting the jar file in both places.
make sure you know how to configure either your server.xml file or respective META-INF/ .xml file appropriately. Depends on which TC version you use. -----Original Message----- From: Scott McClanahan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 10:05 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: jdbc connection pooling 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
