Oc4J resource problems...

Question

Apologies for raising vendor specific question here.
Actually I am trying to configure a resource similar to one defined in my Tomcat server.xml
as follows to my Oc4J setup:
<DefaultContext debug="0" reloadable="true">
<Resource name="xxx/yyy" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="ABC/PQR">
     <parameter>
     <name>factory</name>          
<value>
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory
</value>
I am facing problems in the same due the fact that equivalent structure in OC4J is not very clear to me.Any pointers will be very helpful.
Thanks.

I'm trying to do the same thing. I found that you can configure 3rd party data sources with the "property" element. So, your data-sources.xml should look something like:
<data-source
name="MyTableDS"
location="jdbc/MyTableDS"
class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
>
<property name="driverClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:1521:sid" />
<property name="username" value="user" />
<property name="password" value="pass" />
<property name="maxActive" value="20" />
<property name="maxIdle" value="10" />
<property name="maxWait" value="2000" />
</data-source>
This seems to work with my EJB. But my JSP fails. It either cannot find the data source or doesn't get a valid data source.
I'm also using Castor for my database access.
I hope this is of some help. If you find out more, I'd appreciate a response.
Thanks.
