I am finding the database access in the VTP to be hard to work with. I am using the current baseline and Eclipse 3.4.2 and it seems that when I want to use JNDI to connect to my database that I have to deploy the application, then manually update the web.xml file for my application to insert a <resource-ref> entry. Then I have to create a context file for my application with the required "Resource" entry down inside the Tomcat folders on my application server. Once all that is done I can connect to my database and it works OK from there on.
I can see that I can add my web.xml entries to the org.eclipse.vtp.desktop.projects.core/resources/web.xml file and then they will appear in my deployed application. However Tomcat is destroying my context file which I then have to recreate every time I deploy my application. I'm guessing that I can stop this file deletion from happening by taking Tomcat off of auto-deploy - but that is a guess. Is someone working on getting this database action to work so that it is more 'wizard-like' and does not require so much manual intervention? Thanks, Tom
