JNDI context in ServletContextListener

[bhaskar <bh...@yahoo-inc.com>]

Hi,
I am using tomcat 5.0.18. Our application is doing the JNDI lookup in the
listener. During tomcat startup when i try to get the db connection, i get
following error:
Name OracleDev not bound to this context
 
This is not consistent but it happens quite often.
 
In the tomcat-user list, i found the discussion on the similar
issue(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user
<http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=104438035321814&w=2>
&m=104438035321814&w=2) but i didnt' find any resolution on this. 
 
Can some one please tell me on whether doing the JNDI lookup in the Listener
is the right recommendation ?
 
Thanks in Advance,
Bhaskar

Probably.

It it is a bug there is a much greater chance of it getting fixed in
5.5.x than 5.0.x.

Hi,
Below bug is similar to the issue which I am facing:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30079
 
bug says:
============================
DefaultContext JNDI behavior was a bit shaky with a few Tomcat releases, so
it 
could be your issue is valid.  However:
- DefaultContext is gone altogether in Tomcat 5.5, replaced with a different

mechanism,
- JNDI resources work fine for both normal Contexts and via 
GlobalNamingResources/ResourceLink: either one of those is a better approach

and more encouraged than using DefaultContext,
- Several Tomcat versions on the 5.0.x branch have been released since, so
if 
you really must keep using DefaultContext you could try these later versions
============================

Does it mean that it will solve my problem if I move from Tomcat 5.0.x to
Tomcat 5.5 ?

Please clarify

Thanks 
Bhaskar
