Re: Tomcat data source

Chris,

I sent this earlier but never saw it come through. Here is part of
server.xml that you need:

        <Context path="/yourcontext" docBase="/yourcontextdir"
debug="0">
          <Resource name="jdbc/as400" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
          <ResourceParams name="jdbc/as400">
            <parameter>
              <name>user</name>
              <value>basicprofile</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>password</name>
              <value>associatedpassword</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>driverClassName</name>
              <value>com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver</value>
             </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>driverName</name>
              <value>jdbc:as400://host.yourdomain.com</value>
            </parameter>
          </ResourceParams>
        </Context>

This does not do proper error checking or logging. I use logkit on my
system. Also, you may want to set up a native (db2) driver data source.

All,

When deploying a WebApp in WAS, I can just configure a DataSource on the
Admin console, point it at my iSeries using the native or toolbox
driver,
and away I go.

How would I do the same thing in Tomcat? Has anyone got any samples of
the
.xml & .java that is required?

Chris.
