Dynamic Connection

Hi Friends,
I want to dynamically configure the database,username and password settings,instead of putting them in conf/server.xml.In other words,I dont know beforehand which database to use,
with which username and password.It all depends upon the person and the machine from which it tries to make a connection.In yet another words,I just need to do what the BasicDataSource is doing i.e get the 
connection details before making a connection.I am not quite sure if you got my point,but this is what i've been asked to do and I 
have no clue as to where to go or what to do.If anyone of you got my point,please help me.
Thanks

Sounds like you can just about totally abandon the idea of using any 
pooling functions provided by DBCP.  If I were designing, I'd construct 
an object that implements javax.sql.DataSource and store it in the 
session as soon as you know what db is being used.  Then on each 
request, get the DS from the session and use it as needed.  Just be sure 
you only store the DS in the session -- don't store the connections.

I'm sure there are other ideas out there as well.

Re: hi help regarding running first servlet,jsp in Tomcat 5.x

Posted by Ben Souther <bs...@fwdco.com>.
Das,

Two things:

First, whenever writing to the list, please start a new thread instead
of just clicking 'reply' from another message.  To those of us using
treaded mail clients, you've just hijacked someone else's thread.

Second, it looks like the sample war file on the jakarta site is
corrupted. For now, can download a working version here:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=13534

The url to run it will be: http://localhost:8080/myapp
If you've reconfigured your port, etc.. change the url accordingly.

-Ben

Dear Caroline,
Thanks for the instant mail.  It is amazing to find
that the support is almost instantaneous for Tomcat
Jakarta Webserver.

I solved the problem by shutting down my IIS admin
service which was occupying the 8080 port

thanks again for the link

regards,
Das

Please take a look at 

http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html#Configure-Tomcat

It gives instructions on the installation of Tomcat
and compiling and testing simple Servlets and JSPs.  

Please let us know if you still run into problems.

hi help regarding running first servlet,jsp in Tomcat 5.x

Posted by K thiruthuvadas <td...@yahoo.com>.
Dear Friends,
i want to subscribe to the mailing list of tomcat.
 
 I have a doubt here
 
 i successfully installed tomcat 5.x in my windows
 server
 
 but when i tried to run my first sample application
 i
 caould not succeed
 
 i downloaded the sample file and placed it in the
 webapps folder.
 
 But when i access the http://localhost:8080/sample
 link the browser asks for network user name and
 password
 
 I could not run my first application with the help
 available inthe tomcat website

It shows when Tomcat starts, that port 8080 is in use,
it throws a java.net.bind exception 
 regards,
 Das
