Where do database connections go when making a .war file?

[Brian Maddy <bm...@kampersoftware.com>]

When making a .war file, does anyone know where you should place 
database connections?  I was guessing they should go in 
src/webapp/WEB-INF/cocoon.xconf, but the <datasources> section doesn't 
seem to exist until after you build it.

It does seem kind of strange to me that I'm having to edit stuff under 
the 'src' directory, is that really where I should be making these changes?

Also, thanks a ton to those who helped me with the endorsed libs 
problem!  That wiki page Jason pointed me to ended up solving the error 
I was getting.  Thanks to everyone for their input though!


In case anyone cares, here's how far I've gotten in making a .war file 
work in Tomcat 4:

In the file src/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml, change the node 
/web-app/servlet/servlet-class to 
'<servlet-class>org.apache.cocoon.servlet.ParanoidCocoonServlet</servlet-class>'
(as described here: http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/EndorsedLibsProblem)

Copy blocks.properties to local.blocks.properties
Add the line 'include.block.paranoid=true' in local.blocks.properties

Add the web application you have created to the src/webapp directory 
(and delete the src/webapp/samples directory if you don't want the 
samples to be there)

For adding MySQL (I haven't actually be able to test this section out yet):
Copy the mysql library into src/webapp/WEB-INF/lib and edit the 
src/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml and src/webapp/WEB-INF/cocoon.xconf as 
described here: http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/MySQL
I haven't figured out how to add the connection information to 
src/webapp/WEB-INF/cocoon.xconf

I might put some of this in the wiki later because I have hit lots of 
dead ends in trying to figure this all out.  Well, I hope this ends up 
being helpful to someone!
