How to complete the link between InitialContext() and
?
I've read through Ch.5 of the J2EE 1.3 spec, looked at the Servlet 2.3 spec,
and poked around in the Tomcat docs. I'm not finding an answer to this
question:
How and where do I specify the signon information necessary to create a
proper DataSource object so that I can connect to my DB?
I have a Tomcat 4.0b7 running along with MySQL. I have/will created JDBC
2.0-derived classes to provide me with a DataSource for the MySQL db. I
understand how to specify a <resource-ref> in the web.xml file and I know
how to call InitialContext.lookup() to get a reference to the DataSource.
According to the J2EE 1.3 spec (J2EE.5.4.2, last paragraph), how and where
the specifics of creating a DataSource is up to the "container and resource
manager". Is there documentation on how I specify this in Catalina?
TIA,

Ah! A simple look in the Server.xml file seems to have answered my question.
However, if anyone has additional input that might help me make sense of
what I just found, that'd be great. Thanks!
