JNDI-Datasource: what happens if the database is not ready when Tomcat starts?

[Fred Janon <fj...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am looking into using the JNDI/Datasource facility in Tomcat 5.5 to
connect to a mySQL 5.0 database on a Windows 2003 server. Both Tomcat and
mySQL run as services.
What happens if the Tomcat service starts before mySQL? Does Tomcat wait for
a while for the DB to be ready? Does it launch the apps or wait until the DB
is ready?

Thanks

Fred

It depends on DataSource implementation and configuration.
AFAIK Tomcat uses repackaged commons-dbcp - http://commons.apache.org/dbcp/
