Context.xml

From Plex-XML

The context.xml is telling your servlet engine

• where the application can be found
• which database connections it has
• how the application should be started and run

Hints

• The context.xml -file should be copied into the folder <tomcathome>/conf/Catalina/localhost.
• It has to be renamed as <name_of_your_application>.xml
• The name of the datasource has to be: 'jdbc/....'

Example for Tomcat >= 5.5

The context.xml for Tomcat 5.5 or later needs a different structure than earlier versions. Any entry inside the <ResourceParms> tags have to be set as attributes within the <Resource> tag.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
 <Context path="/LogMan" reloadable="false" privileged="false" debug="0">
  <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.SystemOutLogger" verbosity="2" /> 
  <Resource name="jdbc/AS400" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxWait="15000" maxActive="100" password="the_password"   
    url="jdbc:as400://172.20.128.12;date format=iso;naming=system;libraries=,LM_SECURE,PRD_ACTDTA" 
    driverClassName="com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver" maxIdle="30" username="actobjown" validationQuery="SELECT
    COUNT(*) FROM S2SOFTF" /> 
  <Resource name="jdbc/Account" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxWait="15000" maxActive="10" maxIdle="30"
    password="the_acc_password" username="acc_transfer_prod"
    url="jdbc:oracle:thin:acc_transfer_prod/acc_transfer_prod@//ham-easy-2:1521/gmt" 
    driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" validationQuery="SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ACC_ACTI_GSP" /> 
 </Context>
