Java Forum / General / October 2005moving resources from server.xml into the webapp
hi I have a web-app running under tomcat 5.0.28. In that application i m using 2 resources - oracle jdbc connection pool and mail session. Both are defined in the server's server.xml: <Context path="/JCC" docBase="JCC"> <!-- Mail sender. --> <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session"/> ... <!-- DB connection. --> <Resource name="jdbc/OracleDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> ... Is there a way to define these two inside my application? What i want is that the installation of my web-app will include only copying the web-app into webapps directory, without changing anything in other tomcat folders.

As an alternate, you can put your context in its own file, say "context.xml", and put that file in your webapp's META-INF folder. -- now with more cowbell thanks! I have another problem: These resources use jar files which i need to put in tomcat/common/lib. Is there away i can put them under tomcat/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/lib and tell tomcat that they are there? I need the whole application to be under one directory without changing anything in other tomcat libraries. Hey, I'd like to get one thing straight. Moving the datasource into the web-app itself, wont that complicate matters if you have a staging environment where the datasource points to a test database instead of the live one ? I'm having a major discussion with a co-worker about this, and would like to hear other people's views to this. /Steen Why doe's it complicate matters? This web-app is the only one using this datasource. There is no other web-app. anyway, i still don't have an answer for moving the lib inside the web-app, so it doesn't metter. > As an alternate, you can put your context in its own file, say > "context.xml", and put that file in your webapp's META-INF folder. But this is a Tomcat-specific solution, isn't it? The deployment descriptor is covered by the API and thus should be completely transportable between containers. I see no reference to your technique in Servlet API 2.4. H.
