Re: [Vif-devel] Vif-devel Digest, Vol 1, Issue 93

[Harry G. <har...@gm...>]

Dear Benno,

I have made some progress. I am able to get the smoke to show the database
information but only if I use the tomcat administration console to create
the data source.
jdbc/VIF<http://localhost:8080/admin/resources/setUpDataSource.do?objectName=Catalina%3Atype%3DResource%2Cresourcetype%3DContext%2Cpath%3D%2Fvifapp%2Chost%3Dlocalhost%2Cclass%3Djavax.sql.DataSource%2Cname%3Djdbc%252FVIF&resourcetype=Context&path=%2Fvifapp&host=localhost&domain=Catalina>exists
in the vifapp resources but is initially unconfigured. Which file
configures this? I have tried changing vifapp\META-INF\Context.xml and
restarting but it does not alter things.

Also I have substituted the servlet jar from tomcat and can now compile the
code base, thanks.

Regards,
Harry
