Hi,

i've got a really strange problem: my application runs fine after a fresh start of the Tomcat (5.0.18), but when I remove and re-install the application using the manager webapp of tomcat, I get this:

SEVERE: Could not find datasource: java:comp/env/jdbc/lt04jay
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context
at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:814)

at net.sf.hibernate.connection.DatasourceConnectionProvider.configure(DatasourceConnectionProvider.java:44)
[...]

I've tried some other solutions from the forum like the declaration of the datasource in the <GlobalNamingResources> or adding a name="blah:/something/else" to the <session-factory> in hibernate.cfg.xml, but nothing works.

I even tried to use Tomcat 4.1.29: same problem.

Only a full server restart makes the app working again. ;-(

It feels really strange to me that my application runs fine until I _completely remove_ it and re-installing it from scratch while the server is running. I would think that after the removal, nothing is left of the app, even no open connections that might cause this problem...?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

It works, when the DataSource or a ResourceLink is specified in the META-INF/context.xml file rather than the server.xml. Seems that Tomcat does not work well with removing and re-deploying applications which context ist defined in server.xml.

Jakarta documentation sucks! This fact should go into the documentation!
