Re: DB Connections with Axis

[Ivan Aguirre <iv...@gmail.com>]

I use db pooling with Axis and It's working well.
I'll teel you how I use it, so I hope help you ;)

1. I don't define the Connections inside Context Elements on
server.xml. Instead I use a <appname>.xml located at
TOMCAT_HOME/conf/localhost, its's a recommendation:

"Please note that for tomcat 5.x, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT 
recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file.
Instead, put them in the META-INF/context.xml directory of your WAR file or the
conf directory as described above. "

source: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html

2. Axis is a Tomcat WebApp, so you need to change Axis WebApp config
files: web.xml and axis.xml (as described above...) in order to make
DataSources avaiable only for this WebApp.

3. Larry is correct ;) If you define a DataSource available to all
WebApps (I believe in this case it must be defined at server.xml) it
must work....

Take a look at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html

I don't know if this solves your problem..... if doens't please send
more info ;)

bye !!
