RE: Which is the best way to install an application with connecti on p ooling

["Hookom, Jacob" <Ja...@redline.mckhboc.com>]

I'm trying to accomplish a similar thing with an AS/400 db over JNDI.

I have my context setup in my meta-inf and from stack traces; I see that
DBCP is the one launching the error, so I know that the context binding is
loading successfully.

The problem is that DBCP is throwing and exception that the driver specified
is null, I have the jar located in the webapp's lib, the shared/lib and the
server/lib... which lib directory should contain the driver so that the
context can see it?

Note:  I'm deploying via Ant by pointing at a war file in my project.

Many Thanks!

If you are using a WAR file, put your entire Context block into a file 
called (your-webapp).xml and stick it in META-INF.  Whatever is legal in 
a Context block in server.xml is also legal there.  Then you can deploy 
the WAR file using the manager app froma  remote system.

The admin and manager apps themselves do the same thing, check out 
admin.xml etc in the default distribution.
