Managing the connection pool via Tomcat

By default, a third-party application (c3p0) has been embedded into the configuration file of Talend Administration Center, to manage the connection pool.

The following procedure allows Tomcat to manage directly the connection pool. You can also apply this procedure to JBoss.

Procedure

  1. In the <ApplicationPath>\WEB-INF\classes folder, change the default setting of the configuration.properties file to:
    database.useContext=True
  2. In the WEB-INF folder, edit the web.xml file and add the following piece of code before the closing tag </web-app>: 
    <resource-ref>

     <description>Our Datasource</description>
     <res-ref-name>jdbc/ADMINISTRATOR_CONNECTION</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>

</resource-ref>
  3. In the WEB-INF folder, edit the context.xml file and configure the parameters of connection to the database by modifying the following elements:
    Element name Value Note

    url

    jdbc:mysql://{ip_address}:3306/{db_name}

    For MySQL, where ip_address corresponds to the database IP address and db_name corresponds to its name.

    jdbc:oracle:thin:@{ip_address}:1521:{db_name}
