JSP 2 sql tag

Question

I need help linking to my mySQL DB through the web.xml file.
Currently I am using this code in each JSP:
<sql:setDataSource var="myconn"
     url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/drinksDB"
     user="USERNAME"
     password="PASSWORD"
     driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />How can I add the reference into my web.xml file?
I thought that it went like this, but it doesn't work:
<context-param>
          <param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.dataSource</param-name>
          <param-value>localhost:3306:drinksDB,com.mysql.jdbc.Driver,USERNAME,PASSWORD</param-value>
</context-param>I also tried this:
<context-param>
          <param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.dataSource</param-name>
          <param-value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/drinksDB,com.mysql.jdbc.Driver,USERNAME,PASSWORD</param-value>
</context-param>Thanks,
Matt

define your datasource in a config file. For example, if you are using tomcat, see this:http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
what app server are you using ?
