Hi there,
I had an application running on an older release of
Tomcat where I had
placed important info in the server.xml file regarding the applications
context. This info initialized a connection pool to a database and provided
the appropriate data regarding the number of connections, user name and
password, etc. The entire xml data is provided below.
I'm trying to port over my application to the latest release of Tomcat
version 5.5 and I'm having difficulty in determining where to place the
context information for the application. This latest release doesn't seem
to include any context info on any of the example applications in the
server.xml file, so where does one put this context info? I noticed there
is an xml file named context.xml in the Apache Software Foundation\
Tomcat 5.5\conf directory, and even tried appending my own context
info there, but Tomcat didn't like my doing that!
Please advise,
