  | | | Datasource - OK in app context - Fails in Global context | Datasource - OK in app context - Fails in Global context 2004-01-09 - By Keshav Sarin
Back There's a catch though....
In TC 4.x, if you put a app context entry in the server.xml, the app doesn't get reloaded even if the war is overwritten or the app directory is deleted or the server is restarted. The fully expanded (war) directory has to be overwritten to webapps directory and server needs to be restarted to make it work.
This bug is fixed in 5.x.

It might be a good idea to add a paragraph to the JDBC DataSources section of the documentation that mentions:
(a) That global datasources are defined in <GlobalNamingResources> of server.xml (b) The need for the <ResourceLink> in the application context .xml file
I had the mistaken impression that anything placed in the server.xml file was automatically applied to all application contexts. I am sure that others make the same mistake.
Thanks, I have been pulling my hair on this issue for almost a month.

Have you defined a reference to the global resource in the <ResourceLink> element of the application context ?
>>> Bruno.Melloni@(protected) 01/09/04 10:38AM >>> I have an Oracle JDBC datasource that I defined in the Tomcat5 context for an application (conf/Catalina/localhost/nwg.xml). Works fine, context file listed below.
But when I tried to move the datasource to the <GlobalNamingResources> section of server.xml so that it would be accessible to all apps it gets recognized in the admin console, but not by the application.
What gives? I thought a Global resource is supposed to function identically to an application resource.
Any help would be greatly welcomed.
nwg.xml: <Resource auth="Container" name="rcfDS" type="javax.sql.DataSource "/> <ResourceParams name="rcfDS"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory </value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@(protected):portNumberHere:dbNameHere</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>usernameHere</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>userpasswordHere</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>20</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>-1</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>logAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams>
Note: The JDBC driver is ojdbc14.jar and is present in common/lib, the application's WEB-INF/lib and is present also in the JRE's lib/ext for unrelated JAAS reasons.
