What's the actual function of resource-ref in web.xml

I was configuring JNDI datasource in tomcat and found an confusing fact.
If I have the JNDI resource configuration in the context configuration of the project, I could get access to the JNDI element with or without the resource-ref configuration in my web.xml.
Can someone tell me what exactly resource-ref does in the web application?
Thank you.

Thank you, Sunny.
But I still don't quite understand.
In Tomcat, this <resource-ref> seems to be optional, right?
Plus, there should be a virtual name and actual location in the configuration.
<resource-ref>
<description>Resource reference to a factory for java.sql.Connection.</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/mydb</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
So, is "jdbc/mydb" the virtual name or the actual location of the resource?

  • Adding resource-ref  in web.xml

    dos it make any difference adding
         <resource-ref>
               <description>Application Datasource </description>
               <res-ref-name>jdbc/myDataSource</res-ref-name>
               <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
               <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
         </resource-ref>inside web.xml , it works with or without , please tell me the importance of this

    The optional resource-ref element defines a reference lookup name to an external resource. This allows the servlet code to look up a resource by a "virtual" name that is mapped to the actual location at deployment time.

  • What is the actual size of an (empty) varray in a record?

    what is the actual size occupied by an (empty) varray in a record?
    For example, if I create my table defined as:
    create or replace type XXX as object (
    myRefs VARRAY(10) of REF(yyy)
    create table YYY as XXX;
    what is the actual size of the record of type XXX when 'myRefs' is empty? For some reason, select data_length from all_tab_cols where table_name = YYY seems always to return 3K as the length of column myrefs.... is that correct? If not, what is the correct size?

    A tad late here...
    Storage sizes of REF attributes are described here:
    [Design Considerations for REFs - Storage Size of REFs|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11822/adobjdes.htm#i452226]
    The size of your REF attribute (or element, in your case) will depend on whether it is primary key-based or system-generated, whether it is scoped or not, and whether it carries with it a rowid hint. The overall size of your VARRAY attribute as it grows will also depend on whether you allow null REF values or not, but essentially will be the size of your REF multiplied times the number of elements in your VARRAY (plus a small, constant amount of storage for internal housekeeping, both for the attribute and for each element).
    You could try the VSIZE function as an appromixation...

    Hi,
    The target field mapping is possible by using below typs of functions
    1. Standard functions
    2. Runtime procedure

    Standard functions are the APIs provided in Graphical mapping to process the values of the fields used for target field mapping.
    Technically all these values are trated as string thus all standard functions expect strings as input argument and string as an export aurgument

    Between $1 and $100,000,000.
    Lots of variables... yearly licensing fees or full purchase, R/3 or complete NetWeaver suite, single user or multi-user, several levels of support or no support, implementation partner expenses, types of hardware, etc....
    EDIT:
    I just noticed you said "one software company".  There are other options if you want to be a "partner".  It is one thing to use the software to run your company, it is another if you want the software because your company wants to develop add-ons.

    he print program is used to print forms. The program retieves the necesary data from datbase tables, defines the order of in which text elements are printed, chooses a form for printing and selects an output device and print options.
    Function modules in a printprogram:
    When you print a form you must used the staments OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM. To combine forms into a single spool request use START_FORM and END_FORM.
    To print textelements in a form use WRITE_FORM. The order in which the textelements are printed, is determined by the order of the WRITE_FORM statements. Note: for printing lines in the body, you can also use the WRITE_FORM_LINES function module.
    To transfer control command to a form use CONTROL_FORM.
    Structure of a print program
    Read data
    Tables: xxx.
    SELECT *
    FROM xxx.
    Open form printing - Must be called before working with any of the other form function modules.

    To begin several indentical forms containing different data within a single spool request, begin each form using START_FORM, and end it using END_FORM

    call function 'WRITE_FORM'.....

    50m would be approximately the range.....if there were no walls or obstructions in the path the wireless signal must travel.
    Since we know nothing about how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions there might be the path that the wireless signal would take in your home, or the construction type of those obstructions, we cannot even make a guess about whether the AirPort Extreme might provide a signal to cover your home.

    * $59.99 a month for 450 minutes
    * $79.99 a month for 900 minutes
    * $99.99 a month for 1,350 minutes
    Although they will very, Answers welcome from anyone in the USA. So I can have and idea of the cost with taxes and fees. I am located in both LA and NYC. I currently have a NYC number with Verizion using the 450 minutes plan. The plan cost $39.99 before taxes and fees and $48.42 after taxes and fees.
    Breakdown of Monthly Access Charges:
    450 minute plan: $39.99
    Verizon Wireless' Surcharges and Other Charges & Credits: $3.31
    Taxes, Governmental Surcharges & Fees: $5.12
    Total Current Charges: *$48.42*

    My plan total is $84.99/month, then with taxes and fees it comes to $93.40 each month as the total bill. The biggest fee is the state sales tax, at just over $5 on my last bill. Then the 911 fees, fed regulatory fees, and all that are a few bucks each.
    My plan -

  • Hi Friends what are the actual differences between  AT NEW & ON CHANGE

    what are the actual differences between  AT NEW & ON CHANGE ? can you list some of the differences?

    Hi,
    At New
    1. When a new record comes at new triggers. Atnew only used inside loop and endloop.
    2. At new is controlbreak statment on at new the left side field change, the event
    trigers and the values become 0 and *
    On Change
    1. On change of works same like at-new but the diff is it can be used out side of a loop,like select and endselect,case endcase.
    2.. on change of is not a control break statement and we can use onchange of out side the loop
    and
    The Major difference between the two is that AT NEW can be used ONLY for INTERNAL TABLES, while ON CHANGE OF can be used for any loop processing i.e do..enddo, while..endwhile and loop..endloop also.
    AT NEW <field>
    The block will be executed when the SY-TABIX is 1 (or) when the SY-TABIX 1 value has a change with the SY-TABIX value.
    With this block the field towards the right to the field are not accessable with in the block, and are shown with '*'. They can be accessed outside the block.
    ON CHANGE OF <itab>-<field>
    The block also works similar to the AT First. In this block all the fields are accesseble.
    ON CHANGE OF triggers whenever there is a change in that particular field.
    AT NEW triggers whenever there is a change in the fields before that particular field.ie. if there is a change in that combinations from the first field.
    On change off' works on variabels. The 1st time the statement isreached a memory copy is made of the value. The next time the statementis reached, the current value is compared to the stored value. If thereis a difference, the coding between ON... and ENDON. is executed. Youcan use this for a table workarea field, but if you have the table loopin a routine and the routine called several times, you can get unwantedresults. (Check the value of the last loop with the value of the firstnew loop.)
    The AT NEW (and others like AT END OF...) are specially for table loopprocessing. The coding between AT new FIELD and ANDAT is triggerdwhenever a the field or any field defined to the left is changed. Yourtable should be sorted by all fields from the left up to the consideredFIELD. Btw all fields to the right contain *, so it can be usefull tohave a second workarea filled to be printed or what ever you want.
