<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>
|
|
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>

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.

<p>That JSP page makes use of <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl">JSTL</a>'s SQL and Core taglibs. You can get it from Sun's <a href="http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicespack.html">Java Web Services Developer Pack</a> or <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/intro.html">Jakarta Taglib Standard 1.1</a> project - just make sure you get a 1.1.x release. Once you have JSTL, copy <code>jstl.jar</code> and <code>standard.jar</code> to your web app's <code>WEB-INF/lib</code> directory.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally deploy your web app into <code>$CATALINA_HOME/webapps</code> either
|
|
as a warfile called <code>DBTest.war</code> or into a sub-directory called
|
|
<code>DBTest</code></p>
|
|
<p>Once deployed, point a browser at

<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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><i>This author has not had success here, although others have reported so.
|
|
Clarification would be appreciated here.</i></p>

<h4>2b. Application-specific resource configuration</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Use this option if you wish to define a datasource specific to your application,
|
|
not visible to other Tomcat applications. This method is less invasive to your
|
|
Tomcat installation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Create a resource definition for your <a href="../config/context.html">Context</a>.
|
|
The Context element should look something like the following.
|
|
</p>
|

<h4>4. Accessing the datasource</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When accessing the datasource programmatically, remember to prepend
|
|
<code>java:/comp/env</code> to your JNDI lookup, as in the following snippet of
|
|
code. Note also that "jdbc/postgres" can be replaced with any value you prefer, provided
|
|
you change it in the above resource definition file as well.

<p>Whilst not strictly addressing the creation of a JNDI DataSource using the OCI client, these notes can be combined with the

Oracle and DBCP solution above.</p>
|

<p>
|
|
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>.

After renaming <code>classes12.zip</code> file to <code>classes12.jar</code>
|
|
for Tomcat, copy it into <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code>.
|
|
You may also have to remove the <code>javax.sql.*</code> classes
|

from this file depending upon the version of Tomcat and JDK you are using.

where database is of the form <code>host:port:SID</code> Now if you try to access the URL of your
|
|
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>
|
|

Tomcat runs within a JVM. The JVM periodically performs garbage collection
|
|
(GC) to remove java objects which are no longer being used. When the JVM
|
|
performs GC execution of code within Tomcat freezes. If the maximum time
|
|
configured for establishment of a dB connection is less than the amount
|
|
of time garbage collection took you can get a db conneciton failure.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To collect data on how long garbage collection is taking add the
|
|
<code>-verbose:gc</code> argument to your <code>CATALINA_OPTS</code>
|
|
environment variable when starting Tomcat. When verbose gc is enabled
|
|
your <code>$CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out</code> log file will include
|
|
data for every garbage collection including how long it took.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When your JVM is tuned correctly 99% of the time a GC will take less
|
|
than one second. The remainder will only take a few seconds. Rarely,
|
|
if ever should a GC take more than 10 seconds.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Make sure that the db connection timeout is set to 10-15 seconds.
|
|
For the DBCP you set this using the parameter <code>maxWait</code>.</p>

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) { ; }
|
|
rs = null;
|
|
}
|
|
if (stmt != null) {
|
|
try { stmt.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }
|
|
stmt = null;
|
|
}
|
|
if (conn != null) {
|
|
try { conn.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }
|
|
conn = null;
|
|
}
