Auto config of Datasource

[Kevin Williams <ke...@qwest.net>]

I am trying to modify the set up in java/testing/tomcat to define a 
Datasource that the stand-alone DAS sample can then reference.

Currently, the stand-alone sample requires the user to use the tomcat 
manager to install the war like this:

Context Path (optional):      /CompanyApp

XML Configuration file URL:   work/CompanyAppGbl.xml

WAR or Directory URL:         work/CompanyWeb-SNAPSHOT.war


CompanyAppGbl.xml looks like this:
       
     <Context path="/CompanyApp" debug="5" reloadable="true" 
crossContext="true">

            <Manager pathname=""/>
            <ResourceLink name="jdbc/dastest"
               global="jdbc/dastest"
                type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
                       
         </Context>

To mimic what i think the manager does with this info I modified the 
build.xml file to copy the sample war to the webapps directory and added 
a file named "companyWeb-SNAPSHOT.xml" to /conf/localhost with the 
following contents:

      <Context path="webapps/companyWeb-SNAPSHOT" debug="5" 
reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

            <Manager pathname=""/>
            <ResourceLink name="jdbc/dastest"
               global="jdbc/dastest"
                type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
                       
         </Context>

The conf/server.xml has been modified to include and entry like this:

<!-- Global Datasource for Derby dastest database -->

         <Resource name="jdbc/dastest"

              type="javax.sql.DataSource"  auth="Container"

              description="Derby database for DAS Company sample"

              maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"

              username="" password="" 

              driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"

              url="jdbc:derby:Databases/dastest"/>


This does not seem to work since the application is unable to look up 
the Datasource.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
