RE: Tomcat on iSeries & Connection Pooling

Hi Chris,
Try this for your url and driverClassName (just add your library list at the 
end):
<parameter>
        <name>url</name>
        <value>jdbc:db2:*local;translate binary=true;date format=iso</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
        <name>driverClassName</name>
        <value>com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver</value>
</parameter>

Subject: Tomcat on iSeries & Connection Pooling


All,

I'm trying to configure our application to run on Tomcat on an iSeries.
(Previously we've been running on a wintel box)

I'm having problems with the connection pool configuration in the
server.xml:

          <Resource name="jdbc/myDataSource" scope="Shareable"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
          <ResourceParams name="jdbc/myDataSource">
            <parameter>
              <name>password</name>
              <value>thepassword</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>url</name>
              <value>jdbc:as400://nsbas1;driver=native;naming=system;date
format=iso;date separator=-;libraries=<a really long library list>;</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>driverClassName</name>
              <value>com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>username</name>
              <value>theuser</value>
            </parameter>
          </ResourceParams>

If I take out the driver=native property, i.e. to use the toolbox driver,
the app works. But if I include it to use the native driver, then it looks
as if all the remaining properties, such as naming and libraries are
ignored, and the application falls over in a big heap. Is there anything
special I need to do to use the native driver? Nothing interesting appears
in the QSQSRVR jobs' joblog.

Any help would be appreciated.

Chris.
