Tomcat 4.1 DataSource using Oracle 8i

Question

I have set up a JDNI name in Tomcat called jdbc/ltdb and I am set up a connection in my JSP but when I try to run it I get the error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context
I have no idea what could be wrong, I have followed the instructions as in the Tomcat documentation.
Can anyone help? The server.xml and JSP code is below.
server.xml
<Resource name="jdbc/ltdb" scope="Shareable" type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/ltdb">
<parameter>
<name>validationQuery</name>
<value />
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>maxWait</name>
<value>5000</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>maxActive</name>
<value>4</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>password</name>
<value>password</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>url</name>
<value>jdbc:oracle:thin@blackadder:1521:mgi</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>driverClassName</name>
<value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>maxIdle</name>
<value>2</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>username</name>
<value>username</value>
</parameter>
</ResourceParams>
jsp code
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.naming.*" %>
Connection conn = null;
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/ltdb");
conn = ds.getConnection();
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
ResultSet rset;

Hi,
I guess you have not modifiedyour web.xml file.
Add the following to your web.xml file
<resource-ref>
<description>DatabaseConnection</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/ltdb</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
Get back if u have any issues.
