Hey!
I am trying to access an MS Access Database from a Servlet using JNDI. I have configured the CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml and the DD web.xml file as shown below:

Server.xml file
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

<!--
JNDI WORK
-->
<Context path="/ora" docBase="ora">
<Resource name ="jdbc/publisher-access" scope="Shareable" type="javax.sql.DataSource" auth="Container" description="Publisher Access" />
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/publisher-access">

<parameter>
<name>driverClassName</name>
<value>sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver</value>
</parameter>

<parameter>
<name>url</name>
<value>jdbc dbc ublications</value>
</parameter>

</ResourceParams>
</Context>
<!--
END

-->

��.
</Host>

Following is the DD web.xml file:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/publisher-access</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>






JNDI Servlet.java code follows:

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import javax.naming.*;


public class JNDIServlet extends HttpServlet{
private Connection con=null;
private Statement stmt=null;
private ResultSet rs=null;

private DataSource pool;

public void init()throws ServletException{
Context env=null;
try{
env= new InitialContext();
pool=(DataSource) env.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/publisher-access");

if(pool==null)
throw new ServletException("unknmown data Source");
System.out.println("inside init()");
}catch(NamingException e){
System.out.println("naming error-->"+e);
}
}

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException, IOException{

res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw=res.getWriter();

try{

con=pool.getConnection();
stmt=con.createStatement();
rs=stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Articles");
while(rs.next()){
pw.println(rs.getString(1));
pw.println(rs.getString(2));
pw.println(rs.getString(3));
}
}catch(Exception e){
pw.println("ERROR->"+e);
}
finally{
try{
if(stmt!=null)
stmt.close();
if(con!=null)
con.close();

}catch(SQLException e){
pw.println("Error----"+e);
}
}

}
}

When I start Tomcat and request for the servlet, I get the following error message:
ERROR->org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'

Can anybody spot the error and suggest me a solution.

Regards,

Austin

Hello Austin,

I had a similar problem last week while creating a datasource for mysql I also faced this error.

I found a solution in adding the following line in the meta-inf/context.xml-File:


For you this would mean that your context.xml-File should be looking something similar like this:



I hope this will help you.

Hey! Nat,
Thanks 4 the post.
But my problem remains unsolved.
I have places the context.xml file inside the META-INT folder of my ora webapp (Dir. named "ora" inside the webapp dir), but I'm still getting the same error msg.

Austin

Hi Austin,

I tried to reproduce your error message and I get the following Message when I delete the RessourceLink-Line of the context.xml-File:

org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'

This seems to be the same error message you get so I think the problem is somewhere inside this topic. I checked my IDE (Netbeans 4.0) to find out that the content of the META-INF/context.xml file in each web-application is copied to a xml-File in Tomcats conf-Folder (Maybe there're also differences depending on the tomcat version, I've got Tomcat5). This xml-File's name is always the web-applications name.

For you this would mean that there has to be a file ora.xml in the folder conf/Catalina/localhost/. I'm not able to say if my IDE creates this file or tomcat does. Maybe you can have try.

In your posting you wrote that you put the context.xml-File in a folder called META-INT. I guess this was just a spelling mistake because it has to be in META-INF. It would also be helpfull if you could post the source of context.xml-File.

Hi!,
Let me make things crystal clear here.

1.I am using Tomcat 5.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"

<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/publisher-access</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

</web-app>
4.Contents of CATALINA_HOME\weapps\ora\META-INF\context.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/ora">

</Context>

5.Contents of CATALINA_HOME\weapps\ora\WEB-INF\classes\JNDIServlet.java file


6.Contents of CATALINA_HOME\conf\server.xml file



7.http://localhost/ora/servlet/JNDIServlet
the following output is on the screen
ERROR->org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'

8.On Tomcat console I am getting the �inside init()� debugging message. This means that no exception is thrown inside the init method.
9.I am using MS Access as a Database.
10.No primary key/passward.
11.I am using no IDE simple Textpad editor.

Can anybody help me!

Reagrds,
Austin

You must name context xml as 'ora.xml'
and put it like this

CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost\ora.xml

Hey!,
This is a real nightmare. I have done everything possible to configure my servlet container (Tomcat) to make use of JNDI. But, all my efforts went in vain.

Followings are the contents of my %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\Catalina\localhost\ora.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/ora">
<ResourceLink name="jdbc/publisher-access" global="jdbc/publisher-access" type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
</Context>

All other elements are unchanged.
But, still I am getting the following exception when I try to access http://localhost/ora/servlet/JNDIServlet

ERROR->org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'

Anybody please help!

Austin

Your first mistake was in thinking that MS Access is a safe database choice for a multithreaded application. It's not. You're placing yourself at risk for severe data corruption.

However, this is the pertinent documentation.

Note that you have to define the JNDI resource name AND the resource parameters. You're not supplying a driver name to the database connection pooler.

Hi,
There seems to be no end to the problem. I have even tries MySQL. I am getting the same exception.


If Tomcat documentation was that easy to understand then this discussion won�t have been exiting. Most of the tags on the HOW-To page are not known to me.

A silly question. Did you put the driver in <CATALINA_HOME>/common/lib
I understood that this is obvious. But just to make sure.

Austin,

I have done Database connection successfully thru JDBC mechanism using this help for TomCat 4.x with

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html

If you are using Tomcat 5.0 go thru this

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html

Do it very slowly without missing any step

It will work

Cheers
Binu

Hi!,
Can anybody post the server.xml file and the DD web.xml file for configuring JNDI on Tomcat. It has been a real nightmare trying to configure Tomcat for JNDI.

I guess you don't have net connection. If you had gone thru the url I specified, you could have easily done this job. Anyway these are the main steps (Copied from Apache Site).

1. Install Your JDBC Driver

Use of the JDBC Data Sources JNDI Resource Factory requires that you make an appropriate JDBC driver available to both Tomcat internal classes and to your web application. This is most easily accomplished by installing the driver's JAR file(s) into the $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory, which makes the driver available both to the resource factory and to your application.


2. Declare Your Resource Requirements in Web.xml

Next, modify the web application deployment descriptor (/WEB-INF/web.xml) to declare the JNDI name under which you will look up preconfigured data source. By convention, all such names should resolve to the jdbc subcontext (relative to the standard java:comp/env naming context that is the root of all provided resource factories. A typical web.xml entry might look like this:





WARNING - Be sure you respect the element ordering that is required by the DTD for web application deployment descriptors! See the Servlet Specification for details.


3. Code Your Application's Use Of This Resource

A typical use of this resource reference might look like this:



4. Configure Tomcat's Resource Factory server.xml

YOU MUST CREATE A CONTEXT OF YOUR OWN TO USE JNDI.
To configure Tomcat's resource factory, add an elements like this to the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml file, nested inside the Context element for this web application (or nested inside a DefaultContext element for the surrounding <Host> or <Engine> element.

Hope you can create a Context for your webapplication




Note that the resource name (here, jdbc/EmployeeDB) must match the value specified in the web application deployment descriptor.

This example assumes that you are using the HypersonicSQL database JDBC driver. Customize the driverClassName and driverName parameters to match your actual database's JDBC driver and connection URL.

I have followed everything as guided in the posts here and the Apache site. I am again putting everything clear here.

1.I am using Tomcat 5
2.The name of my web app is �ora� [CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ora]
3.Following is the DD web.xml file [CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ora\WEB-INF\web.xml]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"

<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>


</web-app>

4.Following is the CATALINA_HOME\conf\server.xml file

5.Following is the CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost\ora.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/ora">
<ResourceLink name="jdbc/publisher-access" global="jdbc/publisher-access" type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
</Context>

6.Following is the CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ora\WEB-INF\classes\JNDIServlet.java file
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import javax.naming.*;


public class JNDIServlet extends HttpServlet{
private Connection con=null;
private Statement stmt=null;
private ResultSet rs=null;

private DataSource pool;

public void init()throws ServletException{
Context env=null;
try{
env= new InitialContext();
pool=(DataSource) env.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/publisher-access");

if(pool==null)
throw new ServletException("unknmown data Source");
System.out.println("inside init()");
}catch(NamingException e){
System.out.println("naming error-->"+e);
}
}

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws
ServletException, IOException{

res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw=res.getWriter();

try{

con=pool.getConnection();
System.out.println("Connection taken frm pool");
stmt=con.createStatement();
rs=stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM book");
while(rs.next()){
//pw.println(rs.getString(1));
pw.println(rs.getString(2));
pw.println(rs.getString(3));
}
}catch(Exception e){
pw.println("ERROR->"+e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
try{
if(stmt!=null)
stmt.close();
if(con!=null)
con.close();

}catch(SQLException e){
pw.println("Error----"+e);
}
}

}
}
7.The Driver JAR file is located appropriately
CATALINA_HOMEWEB-INF\lib\ mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar
And
CATALINA_HOME\common\lib\ mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar
8.I have also tried out JDBC code from a servlet which runs successfully
(Just for demonstration purpose)
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.sql.*;

public class JDBCServlet extends HttpServlet{
private Connection con=null;
private Statement stmt=null;
private ResultSet rs=null;

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException, IOException{

res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw=res.getWriter();

try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Publications");
stmt=con.createStatement();
rs=stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Articles");
while(rs.next()){
pw.println(rs.getString(1));
pw.println(rs.getString(2));
pw.println(rs.getString(3));
}
}catch(Exception e){
pw.println("ERROR->"+e);
}

}
}
This works fine
9.Now when I try to run the JNDIServlet (http://localhost/ora/servlet/JNDIServlet) I get the following message.

ERROR->org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'

10. But on the Tomcat console �inside init()� is printed that means that the init method was successful.

Can anybody point out the problem?

Austin

You have to change your context declaration as follows according to the latest server.xml Schema

<CODE>
<Context path="/ora" docBase="ora">

<Resource name="jdbc/publisher-access" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="username" password="password"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="mysql url"
maxActive="8" maxIdle="4"/>



</Context>
</CODE>

Ensure proper url, username and password entries in the above code

It must work.

<!-- Defines a cluster for this node,
By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
A cluster has the following parameters:

className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class

name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything

mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes

mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes

mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address

mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast

mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout

mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat

mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received

tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes

tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
in case of multiple ethernet cards.
auto means that address becomes
InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()

tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port

tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout

printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out

expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that

useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
false means to replicate the session after each request.
false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
<%
HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
map.put("key","value");
%>
replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
* Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
* Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
nodes have received the information.
* Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
and then return to the client.
The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
large network delay.
-->
<!--
When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
2. a session exists (has been created)
3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute

The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.

filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.

The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
and cluster wide

I have only declared a single context in the posted server.xml file.

that should be in side the <Host> tag. Look into the last part of the server.xml.

I haven't changed anything except this.

Still you didn't tell me which exception you got when you tried to implement connection pooling

Austin, i feel with you.

What helped me was mentioned in


Austin,

I have done Database connection successfully thru JDBC mechanism using this help for TomCat 4.x with

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html

If you are using Tomcat 5.0 go thru this

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html

Do it very slowly without missing any step

It will work

Cheers
Binu



But getting this (/&%95%$"� to work is one of the "rites-de-passage"
in this trade.

We all did it, and we all carry the scars on your forehead from
bangin-head-against-wall.

Cheer up,

J.

Hey Sarath,
I must appreciate ur patience.

For the time being lets forget connection pooling and just try to get a
bean object through JNDI lookup. I have posted a message for the same. Plz go through it and let me know in case of any corrections/suggestions.

I won't let it go untill I get the things done!

Austin

Austin,

I don't see anything wrong in your code. Of course, we know that while executing the doGet method (I mean when a request comes) bean object is null.
We need to find out why this happenend?
Check the Context object is created correctly?

Are you sure that bean is creared successfully in init() method?

Try to set and get there itself and see the tomcat server logs.

I am sorry i could not test it on my server since it is not Tomcat 4.x

Hi Austin, I completely sympathize with your connection pooling woes.

I just wanted to check if you had set up Tomcat connection pooling with success in other apps and perhaps the problem is just with Access.

For example, have you tried the Tomcat connection pooling example here that sets up a simple connection pool example with 1 jsp, a web.xml, the tags to put in your context and a very simple MySQL database.

If you can get that going, then you could try to alter your datasource to Access (if that's what you must use) and see if it works with the simple example provided.

If it works, then you can more easily build your app around the working connection pool.
If it doesn't, you can at least you can narrow down your problem.

I took about two days to get the simple example going! I had a dodgy Tomcat install.
Missing files - tears were shed...
good luck!

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread b/c some of your code looks similar to what I'm doing.
I find the whole context.xml/server.xml/[myapp].xml/META-INF vs WEB-INF VERY confusing to say the least!
