default instance vs. named instance in MSSQL 2008 "EXPRESS"
Hi;
I needed to install the EXPRESS version of MSSQL 2008 and this version dictates to get installed with a named instance, but i need to have it as default instance. (and I couldn't)
Now the root of the case is that I have the following ROOT.xml of Catalina tomcat and I couldn't set it up to run the named instance db.
Essentially when i changed the localhost to my named instance, it's not working. It is working as above but I need to have it working with SQLEXPRESS.
Any help?
Regards.

By the connection string it's trying to connect to port 1433. Verify using SQL Server Configuration Manager if TCP/IP is enabled and which port is configured for the SQL Server instance.
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource
Alternative is to use the InstanceName property:
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource
By the way, what's JAZZ? Was in the connection string after the port number.
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource

JAZZ is the database name.
Then you should add the correct parameter:
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource
Or with instance name:
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource
Or with instance name:
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource

with instance name:
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource
I had the following exception:
<Resource name="jdbc/Test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource
I had the following exception:

You are running it from the same machine where is SQL Server or it's from a remote server?

it is a niche question and my solution works fine.
1. Create an alias in the SQL Server Configuration Manager so that clients can use the alias name when connecting to your named instance
2. Connect using an IP address and port (Reference post here)
