Connect pooling problem + java + tomcat + oracle

Hi experts,

I'm developing an application using Tomcat with Oracle database. I have a problem with connection pooling that I can't solve.
What must I do to have connnection pooling successful?

The error I get is

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this context
                   at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:811)
.

My server.xml file is

     parent-child relationships with each other -->

<!-- A "Server" is a singleton element that represents the entire JVM,
     which may contain one or more "Service" instances.  The Server
     listens for a shutdown command on the indicated port.

     Note:  A "Server" is not itself a "Container", so you may not
     define subcomponents such as "Valves" or "Loggers" at this level.

    <!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by which requests are received
         and responses are returned.  Each Connector passes requests on to the
         associated "Container" (normally an Engine) for processing.

         By default, a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector is established on port 8080.
         You can also enable an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 by
         following the instructions below and uncommenting the second Connector
         entry.  SSL support requires the following steps (see the SSL Config
         HOWTO in the Tomcat 4.0 documentation bundle for more detailed
         instructions):
         * Download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or later, and put the JAR files
           into "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext".
         * Execute:
             %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Windows)
             $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA  (Unix)
           with a password value of "changeit" for both the certificate and
           the keystore itself.

         By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a web application calls
         request.getRemoteHost().  This can have an adverse impact on
         performance, so you can disable it by setting the
         "enableLookups" attribute to "false".  When DNS lookups are disabled,
         request.getRemoteHost() will return the String version of the
         IP address of the remote client.

               saveOnRestart: If true, all active sessions will be saved
                 to the Store when Catalina is shutdown, regardless of
                 other settings. All Sessions found in the Store will be
                 loaded on startup. Sessions past their expiration are
                 ignored in both cases.
               maxActiveSessions: If 0 or greater, having too many active
                 sessions will result in some being swapped out. minIdleSwap
                 limits this. -1 means unlimited sessions are allowed.
                 0 means sessions will almost always be swapped out after
                 use - this will be noticeably slow for your users.
               minIdleSwap: Sessions must be idle for at least this long
                 (in seconds) before they will be swapped out due to
               maxActiveSessions. This avoids thrashing when the site is
                 highly active. -1 or 0 means there is no minimum - sessions
                 can be swapped out at any time.
               maxIdleSwap: Sessions will be swapped out if idle for this
                 long (in seconds). If minIdleSwap is higher, then it will
                 override this. This isn't exact: it is checked periodically.
                 -1 means sessions won't be swapped out for this reason,
                 although they may be swapped out for maxActiveSessions.
                 If set to >= 0, guarantees that all sessions found in the
                 Store will be loaded on startup.
               maxIdleBackup: Sessions will be backed up (saved to the Store,
                 but left in active memory) if idle for this long (in seconds),
                 and all sessions found in the Store will be loaded on startup.
                 If set to -1 sessions will not be backed up, 0 means they
                 should be backed up shortly after being used.

               To clear sessions from the Store, set maxActiveSessions, maxIdleSwap,

my project is cmgcrm
Which version of tomcat? 4.1?
Do you have a   <resource-ref> section in your web.xml? If not, add the following inside the <web-app> tag:
  <resource-ref>
      <description>DB Connection</description>
      <res-ref-name>jdbc/OracleDS</res-ref-name>
      <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
      <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
  </resource-ref>

maybe the initial problem is solved.......what about the java.sql.SqlException:Cannot load jdbc driver class 'null'

please help :)

>> String driver = PropertyLoader.getValue("drivername");

Does this return the correct driver-name? Have you checked the output of: >> System.out.println("Hi..the driver is " + driver);
Did you make sure that the jar with the oracle driver sits either in common/lib or in WEB-INF/lib ?
Avatar of ricjava

ASKER

hi mayankeagle,

My program did not go to that line. That line was not for connection pooling.

In my BaseDAO class, the method

protected Connection getConnection() throws Exception{
        if(callFrm.equals("deamon")){ // I DO NOT COME HERE
            return getConnDriver();
        }else{ // I COME HERE
            initialContext = new InitialContext();
            DataSource ds = (DataSource)initialContext.lookup(iContext);
            this.con = ds.getConnection();
            return this.con;
        }
       
    }

what other problems can cause java.sql.SqlException:Cannot load jdbc driver class 'null'?

try changing username to user in the following:

             <parameter>
              <name>username</name>
              <value>cmg_crm</value>
             </parameter>

i tried

<parameter>

              <value>cmg_crm</value>
             </parameter>

but the same error

java.sql.SqlException:Cannot load jdbc driver class 'null'

i did change the username to user and restarted tomcat but still the same...
>> i have classes12.jar in both my

The problem is not with finding the JAR, I guess. The name of the driver class to load is coming as null. Where do you specify the driver-name?
which value of iContext is being used?
Avatar of ricjava

ASKER

the value of iContext i used was

public class BaseDAO {

    protected Connection con;
    static String iContext = "", callFrm = "";
    static Properties p = null;
    Context initialContext = null;

    public static void setInitContext(String iconx){
              //System.out.println("Hi..the context is " + iconx);
        if(iconx.equals("C")){
            // oracle datasource
            iContext = "jdbc/OfficerDS";
        }else{
            // tomcat datasource
            iContext = "java:/comp/env/jdbc/OracleDS"; //------------------------->THIS ONE
        }
       
       
    }
try

java:comp/env/jdbc/OracleDS
Yup, that seems to be the correct one.

sorry the internet connection was down...

Hi objects,

try

java:comp/env/jdbc/OracleDS

>i tried but still the same error....

Hi mayankeagle,

 The name of the driver class to load is coming as null. Where do you specify the driver-name?

Here in the server.xml
<parameter>
                <name>driverClassName</name>
                <value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value>
             </parameter>
The parameter-name seems to be correct. Make sure that you are using the CORRECT version of your server.xml file.
Or try this:

Context ctx2 = ( Context ) ctx.lookup ( "java:comp/env" ) ;
DataSource ds = ( DataSource ) ctx2.lookupLink ( "jdbc/OracleDS" ) ;
Since your server.xml is too long, I can't go through all of it but make sure that its structure is correct and that no tags are being closed accidentally.

Hi experts,

I really appreciate if anyone can help me to solve the problem....
By correct version, I meant - in case you have misplaced the server.xml file in some other folder and are modifying that one and the actual one is left unchanged.

The server.xml looks fine, though. Did you try:

>> Context ctx2 = ( Context ) ctx.lookup ( "java:comp/env" ) ;
>> DataSource ds = ( DataSource ) ctx2.lookupLink ( "jdbc/OracleDS" ) ;
Avatar of ricjava

ASKER

>> Context ctx2 = ( Context ) ctx.lookup ( "java:comp/env" ) ;
>> DataSource ds = ( DataSource ) ctx2.lookupLink ( "jdbc/OracleDS" ) ;
Yes i tried...but fail :(

Yes, my server.xml is correct.....i'm extremely careful with server.xml and it is the correct version..



>> Yes i tried...but fail :(

I hope that you tried with java:comp and not java:/comp. In the same code, try: >> DataSource ds = ( DataSource ) ctx2.lookup ( "jdbc/OracleDS" ) ; instead.
By the way:

>> <Context path="/cmgcrm" reloadable="true" docBase="cmgcrm" crossContext="true" debug="0"/>

Should there be a /> here at the end of the Context node? Perhaps after </ResourceParams>, there should be a </Context> ?
Avatar of ricjava

ASKER

no mayankeagle.....the

<Context path="/cmgcrm" reloadable="true" docBase="cmgcrm" crossContext="true" debug="0"/>
is correct..........it can be closed with /> and no longer need </Context> to close it...
Hmmm. Maybe I'm out of touch since I've been using Websphere for more than a year. Maybe that this question needs a link in the Application Servers or JSP topic-areas as well, if the experts listening to this page can't say anything more. How about  ( DataSource ) ctx2.lookup () instead of  ( DataSource ) ctx2.lookupLink () ?

Mayankeagle - That was exactly the cause of the problem....my salutation to u! You are great!!

Also thanks to all others who gave the comments!
Glad to help ;-) The Context tag was getting closed at an improper place and that's why the resource-params were not being found *inside* the context.
