URGENT: Tomcat, Connection Pool - Issue with web.xml & server.xml

Question

Folks,
I am trying to connect to a MS SQL database using Tomcat/JSP but having issues. The code that I am using is as follows:
Context ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/test");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
I have added the following code to my Server.xml:
<Resource name="jdbc/test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="DB_AW_DATA" password="tester" driverClassName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
url="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://192.168.0.1\\Newcastle"/>
And the complete web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <web-app>
- <resource-ref>
<description>Resource reference to java.sql.Connection factory defined in server.xml</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/test</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
</web-app>
The error message that I am getting is as follows:
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'
What confuses me is that I have placed the following files in Tomcat\common\lib...
mssqlserver.jar
msbase.jar
msutil.jar
I think this is purely an issue with how I configured server.xml and web.xml
In the Tomcat documentation it states to put the code in the server.xml - but nested inside the Context element. This is something that I have not done as I am clear what the Context should be..
Can someone assist...
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"> ???
what should be the path and the docBase.
I have deployed the following application:
http://localhost:8080/SCWAPP/index.jsp
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ALL SUPPORRT

Answer 1

you should put the code you typed in server.xml into context.xml
in the META-INF folder and this will fix your problem.
the latest tomcat docs detail what to do.
