Hello there,
I'm having troubles accessing a database connection pool.
I get the following error:
"No suitable driver found"
The oracle .jar file however is in my tomcat/common/lib directory but
Eclipse seems to start tomcat in a way these libs are not included.
How can I fix this ?
Greetings,
Tom Colman

Hello Laurent,
I use the ojdbc14.jar for Oracle 10g.
This file worked before.
It is thus a jar, not a ZIP.
It could have been a possible error, of course.
thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
The main advantage of using a META-INF/context.xml is that it won't
disappear if you remove the Web project from the server.
The server.xml you see under the Servers project isn't the one used when
the Tomcat server is run. A copy is made under a "tmp" subdirectory of
".metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core" which the running
Tomcat uses. This copy is made during the publish operation. If the
Web project contains a META-INF/context.xml, the child elements in that
file are included in the Context element in the "published" server.xml.
This achieves the same thing as your hand editing of the server.xml,
without the risk of loss. The META-INF/context.xml can also have the
same effect if you create a war file from the project and deploy it to a
"production" Tomcat server.
Cheers,
Larry
