Subject: RE: Deployed jUDDI with Tomcat
Hazem,
You need to check that the JDBC datasource name specified in the Tomcat
setup matches that specified in the juddi/WEB-INF/juddi.properties file
(this is all under the webapps folder of Tomcat). I had this exact same
issue.
First
In juddi/WEB-INF/juddi.properties file you need:
# jUDDI DataSource to use
Next
In the file /WEB-INF/web.xml of the juddi context, there should be a
Resource configuration entry:
<resource-ref>
<description>jUDDI DataSource</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/juddiDB</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref
Finally
This all then has to match the server.xml file under the Tomcat installation
folder in /conf.
<Context path="/juddi" docBase="juddi"
debug="5" reloadable="true"
crossContext="true">
<Logger
className=""
prefix="localhost_juddiDB_log" suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
<!-- the Resource element will
probably work better for
you on Tomcat 5+ if
you simply use a Resource only tag
with xml attributes
as opposed to the nested ResourceParams and
parameter elements
<Resource name="jdbc/juddiDB" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="juddi" password="juddi"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url=""/
<!--
<Resource name="jdbc/juddi" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="juddi" password="juddi" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url=""/
</Context>
Note in all of these 3 locations the use of the String "jdbc/juddiDB". I
believe the issue was that these are not consistent in the download package
and instructions.
Hope this helps
Mark

Subject: Problem setting up jUDDI, MySQL, Tomcat
Hi all,
Web services, data bases, and servers are not my area, but I'm trying to set
up jUDDI as part of an exploratory research project, I'm running into
problems, and I'm starting to pull my hair out.
Here's what I'm using:
jUDDI 0.9rc4
axis 1.2.1
S: Windows XP
Server: Tomcat 5.5
Database: MySQL Server 5.0
Here's my problem: I tried setting everything up to the best of my ability.
When I validate on the jUDDI happiness page I get the following:
jUDDI DataSource Validation
+ Got a JNDI Context!
- No 'java:comp/env/jdbc/juddiDB' DataSource Located(Could not load resource
factory class)
- DB connection was not aquired. (null)
- SELECT ****(*) FRM PUBLISHER failed (null)
I removed the <Resourceelement from server.xml and got this:
jUDDI DataSource Validation
+ Got a JNDI Context!
+ Got a JDBC DataSource ()
- DB connection was not aquired. (Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for
connect URL 'null')
- SELECT ****(*) FRM PUBLISHER failed (null)
I noticed others have had this error, but all suggestions didn't help me.
I've modified so many files at this point, I'm not even sure what is right
and what is wrong.
From the command line I was able to execute the SELECT statement in MySQL,
so I know the database is up and running.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Isaac

Thanks Mark,

I had actually seen your post before, but missed one thing. All I needed to
do to get it working was remove :

<parameter>
<name>factory</name>
<value></value>
</parameter>

works fine now.

Thanks,

Isaac
