PoolMan woes

[Matt Barre <mb...@digiterra.com>]

I am trying to get PoolMan and TomCat to play nicely together.
I am developing on Win2k, Tomcat 3.2.

My first attempt was to use version 2.0.4 of Poolman with Tomcat 3.2...upon access
PoolMan.jsp, Tomcat stops running. No errors, no warnings, its terminal window just
vanishes. I tried increasing the heap size, but that didn't seem to help.

Next I tried installing PoolMan 1.4.1. This doesn't crash TomCat but mysteriously it can't
find its poolman.props file. I've tried putting it in directories that I'm absolutely
positive are in my ClassPath without luck.

I've read the docs pretty extensively I think, but can't seem to come up with an answer.
My overall goal is to simply add connection pooling to tomcat. If anyone can give me some
pointers, thanks in advance.

Matt:

I ran into the same problem several days ago.  If I used the
poolman.xml.example as poolman.xml... tomcat just plain died without
warning.  No errors, nothing.

When I tried using the poolman.xml.template as poolman.xml...
it worked flawlessly.

Hope it helps,

Hi Matt,

I've the same problems in the beginning (Tomcat stops without a
message).
I put the property-file in the /tomcat/classes directory and the
poolman.jar file in the classpath (set
classpath=..../poolman.jar;%classpath%)
then it works.
