Hi,
I currently use deployment descriptor xml files to describe both the war file to deployed and the session persistence info (configs+db info). Currently we use a connectionURL that specifies db complete db info (user/pass/db/port/sid)-- I would like to know if I can specify a datasource specified in the server.xml instead, and how to specify it (if you could provide an example, that'd be great). Here's an example of my current deployment descriptor: mywar.xml <Context path="/mywar" docBase="/nas1/tomcat/apps/mywar.war"> <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager" maxIdleBackup="1" maxIdleSwap="1780" maxInactiveInterval="1800" minIdleSwap="1750" processExpiresFrequency="1"> <Store className="org.apache.catalina.session.JDBCStore" connectionURL="jdbc:oracle:thin:user/passw...@mydberver.mydomain.com:1521:DBSID" driverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" sessionAppCol="app_context" sessionDataCol="session_data" sessionIdCol="session_id" sessionLastAccessedCol="last_access" sessionMaxInactiveCol="max_inactive" sessionTable="tomcat_sessions" sessionValidCol="valid_session"/> </Manager> </Context> Thanks!!!
