Which is the best way to install an application with connection p ooling

[Kevin Passey <kp...@kdpsoftware.co.uk>]

I have normally stopped the server - edited the server XML file, put my war
file in the webapps folder and re-started tomcat.

Using the manager app - is there a way I can do this 1)from a remote system
and 2)without manually editing the server XML file.

I've have tried putting the jndi info using the admin console but I keep
getting NULL driver exceptions.

Thanks

Kevin

There are a number of ways.

If autoDeploy = "true" then you can just drop the WAR file in the Host's 
appBase directory.

You can also use the manager app's various tasks (install, deploy, etc):

This is easily accomplished with ant.
