Thank you, that helped a lot! I am new to j2ee... I have a lot of application logic that will be used without representation as a jsp or a servlet:
objects that extend TimerTask and register at a timer objekt. they execute code which accesses a database (importer classes that collect data from different sources and write it to a database once or twice a day). is that even possible with tomcat/j2ee? do i have to use beans for that which use the resource annotation? i could easily do it with swing etc... but i am asked to deploy it on an apache tomcat server with a web interface (which show the tasks that will be executed). that's why i need the db access. it would be nice if someone could lead me into the right direction - just a rough outline - there is a lot information about standard use cases (displaying webpages, guestbooks, etc...), but i think this is something a little more special. thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Resource-Annotation-has-no-effect-but-JNDI-Lookup-works-%28JDBC-Resource%29-tp28900220p28908327.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
