Hi Pid, This is the configuration The following entry is in server.xml
<Resource name="jdbc_GENERIS_RS" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="org.h2.Driver" url="jdbc:h2:file:/opt/en/repos/tomcat/webapps/GeneralApplication/db/internaldatabase;SCHEMA=genericschema" username="root" password="sa" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1" /> And the following entry is under $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/context.xml <ResourceLink name="jdbc/GenericDataSource" global="jdbc_GENERIS_RS" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> Concerning your other questions: 1) Yes I could shut down the database manually but I would like to do it as a last resort if this issue is something that can not be fixed since I believe that my setup is correct and should be supported as is 2) You say that it depends if I should close down the connection myself. But how can I do that? A javax.sql.DataSource does not provide a close method. I would have to cast to org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource to call close. I am not sure if this is the proper approach. I mean I then get bind to this class, right? Or there is another way?
