Using Resources element in server.xml

[sergeant72]

Hi!

There is a feature in standalone Tomcat http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/resources.html
which alows you to provide JNDI provider for your custom storage where you have your web. app. to Tomcat. And Tomcat will use this JNDI provider in order to work with your web. app.
It works perfectly with standalone Tomcat, but when I try to integrate this into JBoss3.2.5 with embedded Tomcat5.0.26 some strange things happen.

At this point I don't know if I'm missing something in configuration or it shouldn't work at all with JBoss/embedded Tomcat.
Can somebody,please, clarify that it is supported by JBoss/embedded Tomcat?

Regards.

Its not supported. Use the web.xml/jboss-web.xml descriptors in the war/WEB-INF.

Thanks for the reply Scott!

Is there any mechanism in order to have your web. app. in custom medium (like database) , not in File System?

Also, after putting this snippet in server.xml inside Host element , I have the only problem with compiling jsp's, it seems that some how classes from standart packages , like javax.servlet.*, are not found. But everything else, like any servlet classes in my web. app. or any static content, works.

'Context path="/rep" docBase="everyone" debug="0" override="true" defaultWebXml="web.xml">

'Resources className="com.fcs.resources.ResourcesContext"/>

</Context'
