I am getting Following Exception while configuring the Connection Pool in Tomcat

This is Context.xml

<Context path="/DBTest" docBase="DBTest"
        debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

    <!-- 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 -1 for no limit.
         -->

    <!-- 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.
         -->

    <!-- 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.
         -->

    <!-- username and password: MySQL dB username and password for dB connections  -->

    <!-- 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.
         -->

    <!-- url: The JDBC connection url for connecting to your MySQL dB.
         -->

  <Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
               maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
               username="root" password="password" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
               url="jdbc:mysql:///BUSINESS"/>

Nothing complex here - you have mysql configured, but the jdbc driver for mysql either you never installed or never placed in the classpath.

Ignore/disable spring, hibernate, connection pools and just try this java code in a jsp or whatever.

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

Until that works (eg file is in class path), you will continue to have sadness

Sorry guys i forgot to add "mysql-connector-java-5.1.10-bin.jar" under "C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.28\common\lib" assums that it will work if it is in application \WEB-INF\lib\mysql-connector-java-5.1.10-bin.jar But code loads data at load on startup Thanks – Vicky Mar 12 '10 at 6:02

You must do the following steps:

1) Configuration of Spring beans --------------------------------

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
 xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.5.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.5.xsd">
 <bean id="entityManagerFactory"
  class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
  <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
  <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
   <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
    <property name="showSql" value="true" />
    <property name="generateDdl" value="true" />
    <property name="database" value="MYSQL" />
    <property name="databasePlatform" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
   </bean>
  </property>
 </bean>

 <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean"
  scope="singleton">
  <property name="jndiName" value="jdbc/jpaExamples" />
  <property name="resourceRef" value="true" />
 </bean>

 <bean id="jpaTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTemplate">
  <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
 </bean>

 <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
  <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
 </bean>

 <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />

 <!-- Definition of your beans -->

</beans>

2) Definition of DataSource resource in web-xml: ------------------------------------------------

 <resource-ref>
  <description>DB Connection</description>
  <res-ref-name>jdbc/jpaExamples</res-ref-name>
  <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
  <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>

3) Definition of Resource in Context of server.xml --------------------------------------------------

<Context docBase="WebServiceRequestPersistence_Web3" path="/WebServiceRequestPersistence_Web3" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:WebServiceRequestPersistence_Web3">
 <Resource 
  name="jdbc/jpaExamples" 
  auth="Container"
  type="javax.sql.DataSource"
  maxActive="100" 
  maxIdle="30" 
  maxWait="10000"
  username="myUsername"
  password="myPassword" 
  driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" 
  url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jpaExamples" 
 />
</Context>

4) Copy of JDBC driver jar into lib of Apache Tomcat 6 ------------------------------------------------------ Copy your MySQL Java connector (for example: mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar) in the lib sub-directory of Apache Tomcat 6 installation.

If you are using MyEclipse and you are trying to run it from MyEclipse Tomcat; Go to preferences (Window > Preferences), then Servers > Integrated Sandbox > MyEclipse Tomcat > Paths Under prepend to calsspath, add the jar.
