[tomcat-6.0.33] META-INF/context.xml Environment not working
Hello,
My very basic servlet fails to initialize when trying to read its JNDI
environment entry. The app context name is xbasic. The context.xml is in
xbasic.war's META-INF directory and TomCat (6.0.33) correctly copies it
to ${tomcat.home}/conf/Catalina/localhost/xbasic.xml on first deploy.
Below are the relevant snippets. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong or
is this a bug?
BTW, I'm running this under openjdk 6.

Why not do your initialisation in the Servlet.init() method?

Well for starters, the web.xml entries will work in all web containers
whereas context.xml is Tomcat-specific.
But the main driver for me is that I want to deliver a .war that I can
drop into ANY web container and have the users configure the app WITHOUT
touching anything in the .war file. I only mentioned the
META-INF/context.xml approach in my original email to simplify the
discussion here. For Tomcat my real aim would be to drop the META-INF
thing and create an equivalent context.xml in
conf/Catalina/${hostname}/${myappcontext}.xml (this is also broke in
6.0.33). Most app servers provide a means of setting JNDI entries via a
web dashboard or a scriptable interface. Tomcat's Manager web interface
used to support this (or maybe it was an extra).
I believe the the Servlet spec says that <env|resource-ref> entries have
to be in web.xml because they tell the container how to expose JNDI
entries to the app in the java:comp/env context. So as 6.0.33 stands, if
I leave them out of web.xml my app works in Tomcat but it's broke
everywhere else. Not good.
I'm trying to see if I can find the problem and so far it's looking like
it might be in org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig but nothing
definite. Not sure how long I'll pursue this. I've got a life to live
and a project to work on.

So what is the difference between having a <env-entry> or <resource-ref> in web.xml vs. a <Resource> or <Environment> elements in META-INF/context.xml?
RE: [tomcat-6.0.33] META-INF/context.xml Environment not working
Posted by Tim Watts <ti...@cliftonfarm.org>.
I got it to work by removing the <env-entry> from web.xml. I believe
this is a regression because it works correctly under 5.5.17. Under
5.5.17 it finds the env entry with or without having defined in web.xml.
Under 6.0.33 having the env entry defined in web.xml *prevents* it from
finding it.

My version of this code, with your name:
private DataSource ds;
public void createDataSource(){
// Setup the DataSource Context
try{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/configName");
} catch (NamingException ex){
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().log("DataSource lookup failed", ex);
}

If the resource entry in web.xml is insufficient to fully configure the
resource, they'll have to provide some form of mechanism for this.
You might also want to read:

Wonderful. Thank You!
You're right about <Parameter>/<context-param> but I'm not sure all
standards conforming servlet containers are guaranteed to provide an
'external override' behaviour.

You have to add override="false" to your <Environment> element. It is
tricky, but it is documented
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html#Environment_Entries
BTW, I think <Parameter> (<context-param> in web.xml) are easier to
use. Note that it requires override="false" as well.
