JNDI Database connection in webapp

[francan00]

I have JNDI working with my Oracle 9i database using my server.xml
file in my local Tomcat 4.1.27. Now I need to put my webapp on the
server and I wont get access or be able to touch server.xml on the
server.

Please advise how I can do that? I tried putting the <context> info I
had in server.xml into the webapp root and call it
mywebappname.xml and that didnt work. I also tried that with
creating a context.xml and that didnt work. Both gave me back
error message: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect
URL 'null' .

Is this something that can be done in Tomcat 4.1.27??


server.xml(C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27\conf)

<Context path="/DBTest" docBase="DBTest"
debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="localhost_DBTest_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>

<Resource name="jdbc/TestDB"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

<Resource name="jdbc/myoracle" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

<ResourceParams name="jdbc/myoracle">

</Context>


web.xml:
<resource-ref>
<description>Oracle Datasource example</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/myoracle</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>[/PHP]


database connection part:
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/myoracle");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
//etc.

You'll probably do better on the Tomcat mailing list
