Cannot Connect Struts web app to remote sql database

[Carla carmona]

I there everyone !

I am working in a struts project using MVC, Tomcat and MS SQL 2000.

When a connect the web application to the local host using MYSql database this Datasource works fine :

<data-source type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">

<set-property property="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<set-property property="username" value="root"/>
<set-property property="password" value="tininha"/>
<set-property property="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/newasb" />

</data-source>


But when I am trying to connect the same application to a remote SQL 2000 database using the bellow datasource Tomcat gives me the following error:

type Status report
message Servlet action is not available
description The requested resource (Servlet action is not available) is not available.

Here is the troublesome datasource:

<data-sources>
<data-source type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<set-property property="driverClassName" value="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"/>
<set-property property="username" value="svc"/>
<set-property property="password" value="cvs1"/>
<set-property property="url" value="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://172.20.2.103:1433/newasb" />

</data-source>
</data-sources>



Can anyone help ??? I have all the .jar for the JDBC for SQL 2000 set in both the project and the classpath.

Hello.

I just had the exact same problem connecting to Oracle. I am running JBoss 4.0.4 and in the server statup it shows that it is setting the servlet to not available because the connection to the database was refused.

Now the main problem with me was connecting remotley and my Oracle TNS not configured correctly, it is corrupt locally so having real problems with that.

The way it was sorted in the end was using a connection string to directly connect to Oracle (I am sure you can do something similar in MySQL or MSSQL)

This is my struts-config datasource, the URL property is where all the action is:

<data-sources>
 <data-source key="bizzCoop" type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<set-property property="driverClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />
<set-property property="url" value="jdbc :o racle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hereGoesTheHostNameOrIPAddressOfHost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=PROD2)))" />
<set-property property="username" value="myUser" />
<set-property property="password" value="myPass" />
<set-property property="maxActive" value="10" />
<set-property property="maxWait" value="5000" />
<set-property property="defaultAutoCommit" value="false" />
<set-property property="defaultReadOnly" value="false" />
<set-property property="validationQuery" value="SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL" />
</data-source> 
</data-sources>

Also make sure you have these classes visible to the server; I have mine in the WEB-INF/lib directory:

The last 2 are Oracle specific I think.

commons-pool-1.3.jar
commons-collections-3.2.jar
jdbc2_0-stdext.jar
classes12.jar
