mod_webapp and datasource failure

[Brett Porter <bp...@f2network.com.au>]

Hi,

I have looked into the mail archives and seen others with the same 
problem: when using WARP, datasources don't work as they get deployed as 
"null". The solutions mentioned were:
1) set ServerName to an IP address and the same in both that and 
server.xml - didn't work, tried various combinations
2) use nightly builds of mod_webapp - doesn't compile with a stock 
tomcat 4.0.1 ditribution when it gets to warp.jar.

It certainly seems to be attempting to deploy the webapp twice - it logs 
the first time successfully in localhost_log_..., and fails when you 
start apache and it logs that to cataline_log_... using the loggers from 
the example server.xml.

Is there any solution to this, other than using a snapshot build of tomcat?
Is my best alternative to use a snapshot, the release AJP connector 
(haven't tried it), or try and tunnel requests to a HTTP connector?

Thanks,
Brett

Can I see your server.xml configuration file?
