<p>JNDI Datasource configuration is covered extensively in the
JNDI-Resources-HOWTO. However, feedback from <code>tomcat-user</code> has
shown that specifics for individual configurations can be rather tricky.</p>
<p>Here then are some example configurations that have been posted to
tomcat-user for popular databases and some general tips for db useage.</p>
<p>You should be aware that since these notes are derived from configuration
and/or feedback posted to <code>tomcat-user</code> YMMV :-). Please let us
know if you have any other tested configurations that you feel may be of use
to the wider audience, or if you feel we can improve this section in anyway.</p>
<p>
<b>Please note that JNDI resource configuration changed somewhat between
Tomcat 5.0.x and Tomcat 5.5.x.</b> You will most likely need to modify older
JNDI resource configurations to match the syntax in the example below in order
to make them work in Tomcat 6.x.x.
</p>
<p>
Also, please note that JNDI DataSource configuration in general, and this
tutorial in particular, assumes that you have read and understood the
<a href="config/context.html">Context</a> and
<a href="config/host.html">Host</a> configuration references, including
the section about Automatic Application Deployment in the latter reference.

<p>DBCP uses the Jakarta-Commons Database Connection Pool. It relies on
number of Jakarta-Commons components:
<ul>
<li>Jakarta-Commons DBCP</li>
<li>Jakarta-Commons Collections</li>
<li>Jakarta-Commons Pool</li>
</ul>
These libraries are located in a single JAR at

only the classes needed for connection pooling have been included, and the
packages have been renamed to avoid interfering with applications.

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><tr><td bgcolor="#828DA6"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial,helvetica.sanserif"><a name="Preventing dB connection pool leaks"><strong>Preventing dB connection pool leaks</strong></a></font></td></tr><tr><td><blockquote>
<p>
A database connection pool creates and manages a pool of connections
to a database. Recycling and reusing already existing connections
to a dB is more efficient than opening a new connection.
</p>
<p>
There is one problem with connection pooling. A web application has
to explicetely close ResultSet's, Statement's, and Connection's.
Failure of a web application to close these resources can result in
them never being available again for reuse, a db connection pool "leak".
This can eventually result in your web application db connections failing
if there are no more available connections.</p>
<p>
There is a solution to this problem. The Jakarta-Commons DBCP can be
configured to track and recover these abandoned dB connections. Not
only can it recover them, but also generate a stack trace for the code
which opened these resources and never closed them.</p>
<p>
To configure a DBCP DataSource so that abandoned dB connections are
removed and recycled add the following attribute to the
<code>Resource</code> configuration for your DBCP DataSource:
<div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre>
removeAbandoned="true"
</pre></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr></table></div>
When available db connections run low DBCP will recover and recyle
any abandoned dB connections it finds. The default is <code>false</code>.
</p>
<p>
Use the <code>removeAbandonedTimeout</code> attribute to set the number
of seconds a dB connection has been idle before it is considered abandoned.
<div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre>

The default timeout for removing abandoned connections is 300 seconds.
</p>
<p>
The <code>logAbandoned</code> attribute can be set to <code>true</code>
if you want DBCP to log a stack trace of the code which abandoned the
dB connection resources.

<h3>2. Context configuration</h3>
<p>Configure the JNDI DataSource in Tomcat by adding a declaration for your

&lt;Context path="/DBTest" docBase="DBTest"
debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"&gt;
&lt;!-- maxActive: Maximum number of dB connections in pool. Make sure you
configure your mysqld max_connections large enough to handle
all of your db connections. Set to 0 for no limit.
--&gt;
&lt;!-- maxIdle: Maximum number of idle dB connections to retain in pool.
Set to -1 for no limit. See also the DBCP documentation on this
and the minEvictableIdleTimeMillis configuration parameter.
--&gt;
&lt;!-- maxWait: Maximum time to wait for a dB connection to become available
in ms, in this example 10 seconds. An Exception is thrown if
this timeout is exceeded. Set to -1 to wait indefinitely.
--&gt;
&lt;!-- username and password: MySQL dB username and password for dB connections --&gt;
&lt;!-- driverClassName: Class name for the old mm.mysql JDBC driver is
org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver - we recommend using Connector/J though.
Class name for the official MySQL Connector/J driver is com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.
--&gt;
&lt;!-- url: The JDBC connection url for connecting to your MySQL dB.
The autoReconnect=true argument to the url makes sure that the
mm.mysql JDBC Driver will automatically reconnect if mysqld closed the
connection. mysqld by default closes idle connections after 8 hours.

<h3>0. Introduction</h3>
<p>Oracle requires minimal changes from the MySQL configuration except for the
usual gotchas :-)</p>
<p>Drivers for older Oracle versions may be distributed as *.zip files rather
than *.jar files. Tomcat will only use <code>*.jar</code> files installed in
<code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code>. Therefore <code>classes111.zip</code>
or <code>classes12.zip</code> will need to be renamed with a <code>.jar</code>
extension. Since jarfiles are zipfiles, there is no need to unzip and jar these
files - a simple rename will suffice.</p>
<p>For Oracle 9i onwards you should use <code>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</code>
rather than <code>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</code> as Oracle have stated
that <code>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</code> is deprecated and support
for this driver class will be discontinued in the next major release.
</p>
<h3>1. Context configuration</h3>
<p>In a similar manner to the mysql config above, you will need to define your
Datasource in your <a href="config/context.html">Context</a>. Here we define a
Datasource called myoracle using the thin driver to connect as user scott,
password tiger to the sid called mysid. (Note: with the thin driver this sid is
not the same as the tnsname). The schema used will be the default schema for the
user scott.</p>
<p>Use of the OCI driver should simply involve a changing thin to oci in the URL string.

<h3>0. Introduction</h3>
<p>PostgreSQL is configured in a similar manner to Oracle.</p>
<h3>1. Required files </h3>
<p>
Copy the Postgres JDBC jar to $CATALINA_HOME/lib. As with Oracle, the
jars need to be in this directory in order for DBCP's Classloader to find
them. This has to be done regardless of which configuration step you take next.
</p>
<h3>2. Resource configuration</h3>
<p>
You have two choices here: define a datasource that is shared across all Tomcat
applications, or define a datasource specifically for one application.
</p>
<h4>2a. Shared resource configuration</h4>
<p>
Use this option if you wish to define a datasource that is shared across
multiple Tomcat applications, or if you just prefer defining your datasource
in this file.

When accessing the datasource programmatically, remember to prepend

you change it in the above resource definition file as well.

In order to use OCI driver, you should have an Oracle client installed. You should have installed
Oracle8i(8.1.7) client from cd, and download the suitable JDBC/OCI
driver(Oracle8i 8.1.7.1 JDBC/OCI Driver) from <a href="http://otn.oracle.com/">otn.oracle.com</a>.
</p>

After renaming <code>classes12.zip</code> file to <code>classes12.jar</code>

test servlet/jsp and what you get is a
<code>ServletException</code> with a root cause of <code>java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:get_env_handle</code>.
</p>
<p>
First, the <code>UnsatisfiedLinkError</code> indicates that you have
<ul>
<li>a mismatch between your JDBC classes file and
your Oracle client version. The giveaway here is the message stating that a needed library file cannot be
found. For example, you may be using a classes12.zip file from Oracle Version 8.1.6 with a Version 8.1.5
Oracle client. The classeXXXs.zip file and Oracle client software versions must match.
</li>
<li>A <code>$PATH</code>, <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> problem.</li>
<li>It has been reported that ignoring the driver you have downloded from otn and using
the classes12.zip file from the directory <code>$ORAHOME\jdbc\lib</code> will also work.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
Next you may experience the error <code>ORA-06401 NETCMN: invalid driver designator</code>
</p>
<p>
The Oracle documentation says : "Cause: The login (connect) string contains an invalid
driver designator. Action: Correct the string and re-submit."
Change the database connect string (of the form <code>host:port:SID</code>) with this one:
<code>(description=(address=(host=myhost)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=orcl)))</code>

These can occur when one request gets a db connection from the connection
pool and closes it twice. When using a connection pool, closing the
connection just returns it to the pool for reuse by another request,
it doesn't close the connection. And Tomcat uses multiple threads to
handle concurrent requests. Here is an example of the sequence
of events which could cause this error in Tomcat:
<pre>
Request 1 running in Thread 1 gets a db connection.
Request 1 closes the db connection.
The JVM switches the running thread to Thread 2
Request 2 running in Thread 2 gets a db connection
(the same db connection just closed by Request 1).
The JVM switches the running thread back to Thread 1
Request 1 closes the db connection a second time in a finally block.
The JVM switches the running thread back to Thread 2
Request 2 Thread 2 tries to use the db connection but fails
because Request 1 closed it.
</pre>
Here is an example of properly written code to use a db connection
obtained from a connection pool:
<pre>
Connection conn = null;
Statement stmt = null; // Or PreparedStatement if needed
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
conn = ... get connection from connection pool ...
stmt = conn.createStatement("select ...");
rs = stmt.executeQuery();
... iterate through the result set ...
rs.close();
rs = null;
stmt.close();
stmt = null;
conn.close(); // Return to connection pool
conn = null; // Make sure we don't close it twice
} catch (SQLException e) {
... deal with errors ...
} finally {
// Always make sure result sets and statements are closed,
// and the connection is returned to the pool
if (rs != null) {
try { rs.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }

Please note that although the above instructions place the JNDI declarations in a Context
element, it is possible and sometimes desirable to place these declarations in the
<a href="config/globalresources.html">GlobalNamingResources</a> section of the server
configuration file. A resource placed in the GlobalNamingResources section will be shared
among the Contexts of the server.
