RE: Tomcat on iSeries & Connection Pooling

Chris,

Ive had problems before because the native and the toolbox drivers specify
some different properties. 
Look at the documentation on the ibm site to get the properties

cheers

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.
