Setting web app to use mysql driver...
Hi all,
I have a webapp that depends on a mysql database in order for the person to login to the app. How do I get the app to recognize the jar file that contains the drivers for connecting to the database? Thanks in advance!

Not exactly sure I have the question right. You mean a mysql connector
jar file? You should be able to drop it in Tomcat's lib directory and
set up the environment variable CLASSPATH to point directly to the jar.

If your are using Realms, then modify
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml to include the context
for the web app and a realm for mysql (there is a
sample realm for mysql in the server.xml file already)
under the appropriate service/engine and optionally
host. Place the actual JDBC driver in either
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib (used by server and web
apps) or $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib (used by catalina
only). Try also reading the REALM-HOWTO located at
Apache Jakarta-Tomcat
(http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html).
There are also other ways including using .war files
that this same functionality can be made available
with the deployment descriptor .../WEB-INF/web.xml for
your web app.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
