Spring/hibernate/Tomcat error

I understand that this is not a Spring problem, rather a problem I have configuring Tomcat (5.025) but it is stopping me using Spring and any help would be appreciated.

I get the error:

[org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] -
<Context initialization failed>
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean wit
h name 'cdDataSource' defined in resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml] of S
ervletContext: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is javax.naming.N
ameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context

I have seen suggested solutions to this problem, none of them seem to
work.

My web.xml:

<resource-ref>
<description>Oracle Datasource example</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/cd_managerDB</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

My conf\Catalina\localhost\cd_manager.xml (cd_manager is app context):

<Context path="/cd_manager" docBase="cd_manager" debug="1"
reloadable="true">
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/cd_managerDB"
name="jdbc/cd_managerDB"/>
<Resource name="jdbc/cd_managerDB"
auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

<ResourceParams name="jdbc/cd_managerDB">
<parameter>
<name>factory</name>

<value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFact ory</value>

<name>maxIdle</name>
<value>10</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>maxWait</name>
<value>-1</value>
</parameter>
</ResourceParams>
</Context>

applicationContext.xml:

<bean id="cdDataSource"
class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryB ean">
<property name="jndiName">
<value>jdbc/cd_managerDB</value>
</property>
</bean>

Very grateful for any help received.

Try changing your JNDI name to:

<property name="jndiName"><value>java:comp/env/jdbc/cd_managerDB</value></property>

When looking for objects in jndi, you should either specify the full path:

Code:

---

  <property name="jndiName">
    <value>java&#58;comp/env/jdbc/cd_managerDB</value>
  </property>

---

or ask Spring to do it for you by setting resourceRef to true:

Code:

---

  <bean id="cdDataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName">
      <value>jdbc/cd_managerDB</value>
    </property>
    <property name="resourceRef">
      <value>true</value>
    </property>
  </bean>

HTH.

Thanks for the help guys. Unfortunately not working still. I can see from debug that the correct jndi name is being used. Must be something fundamental in my tomcat config.

Cheers,

Ben

I am also using Tomcat 5.0.25, and had a similar problem before. Now I don't have the problem, and my definition is like this, you can try it:

(This is in TOMCAT\conf\server.xml, not in another file)

Code:

---

        <Context path="/cd_manager" docBase="cd_manager" debug="1"
reloadable="true">

      <Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/cd_managerDB" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

        <ResourceParams name="jdbc/cd_managerDB">
...........
...........
The rest is the same in your post.

HTH,

A user had a "simillar" configuration problem Tomcat + Spring + Hibernate configuration problem

HTH

thanks awfully for the help chaps.

Just to kill this thread off, the prob was that I had:

Code:

---

<ResourceLink global="jdbc/cd_managerDB" name="jdbc/cd_managerDB"/>

---

in my context.xml but my datasource is not defined as a global resource. Removing this has solved the problem.
