Heya,

I'm trying to integrate Derby as an embedded db into the Roller web log
app on Tomcat. All the FAQs and install instructions describe how to
1. create the jdbc/rollerdb JNDI resource and DataSource in the
server.xml file.
2. place the Derby JDBC driver in Tomcat's common/lib subdir

I have a couple problems with this:
1. I don't control the Tomcat installation and don't have access to the
common/lib directory. However, I do have access to a CATALINA_BASE dir
in my home directory and to the app's WEB-INF directory.
2. Without putting the driver in common/lib, the existing instructions
cause exceptions trying to find the Derby driver...obviously derby.jar
isn't in common/lib but is instead in my app's WEB-INF/lib directory.
3. Creating a global JNDI resource and DataSource in server.xml is
causing the exceptions in #2 above.

So, can anyone help me understand how to add the DataSource resource and
JNDI entry somewhere just local to the app itself. I'm trying to put
this information into WEB-INF/web.xml, but I'm not sure this is
possible. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
John O'Conner
