Name jdbc is not bound in this Context [message #215678] Wed, 18 June 2008 02:41 Go to next message

Hello,

we are migrating from WebSphere Developer Studio to Eclipse. I have
integrated Tomcat 5.5.26 as Server into Eclipse 3.2. If I start our
web projects in Tomcat out of Eclipse I get an exception:

Name jdbc is not bound in this Context

I can think of two reasons for that:

1. We have configured our JDBC connections with JNDI in the server.xml
located in the Tomcat directory. Eclipse does not seem to read/know
that file.

2. While deploying the projects into Tomcat (without Eclipse) we use
a deployment descriptor which defines which data source to use from the
server.xml. Eclipse also does not know about that (how should it).

In WebSphere developer studio there were ways to configure JNDI and
JDBC for projects before running them on the server. How can I do
that within Eclipse and Tomcat?

Thanks,
Frank

Did you edit the file in your Tomcat installation directory or the
ServersX project in Eclipse?

Hi,

we already solved this issue with the help of Rainer Jung
from KippData.

We had to add a context.xml into the META-INF directory of
our projects containing the data sources.

It's possible to add the data sources to the server.xml used
by Eclipse, it's located under Servers/Tomcat.

Yes, you can also modify the server.xml under the Servers project in
your workspace. The main disadvantage of this approach is that that
configuration will disappear if you remove the project from that server.
Putting it in META-INF/context.xml means the configuration is a
persistent part of the project.

Cheers,
Larry
