Installing the DataSource into J2EE/Tomcat

Information on how to configure a DataSource in the J2EE/Tomcat container can be found in the corresponding J2EE/Tomcat documentation. For example, to configure a H2 DataSource in Tomcat:

  1. Download the H2 driver jar (h2-1.3.165.jar) and put it into CATALINA_HOME/lib directory.

  2. Add a Resource entry for the H2 DataSource to the CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml:

    <Resource name="jdbc/datasource" auth="Container"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="sa" password=""
              driverClassName="org.h2.Driver"
              url="jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/test"
              maxActive="8" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"/>

The JNDI DataSource name jdbc/datasource is available to be used in the Service Activity Monitoring Server.

Here are Resource entries for other databases:

  • Derby:

    <Resource name="jdbc/datasource" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="test" password="test"
            driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver"
            url="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/db;create=true"
            maxActive="8" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"/>
  • MySql:

    <Resource name="jdbc/datasource" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="test" password="test"
            driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
            url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"
            maxActive="8" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"/>
  • DB2:

    <Resource name="jdbc/datasource" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="db2admin" password="qwaszx"
            driverClassName="com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver"
            url="jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/TEST"
            maxActive="8" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"/>
  • SQLServer:

    <Resource name="jdbc/datasource" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="test" password="test"
            driverClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"
            url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1029;instanceName=sqlexpress;datab
    aseName=Test"
            maxActive="8" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"/>
  • Oracle:

    <Resource name="jdbc/datasource" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="xxx" password="xxx"
            driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
            url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE"
            maxActive="8" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"/>

    <Resource name="jdbc/datasource" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="postgres" password="qwaszx"
            driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
