I have context.xml placed in the the: C:\Users\userName\eclipse-workspace\WebAppName\src\main\resources\META-INF Here is the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xml>
<Context>
<Resource 
    name="ParkingBookSystem" 
    auth="Container"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    maxTotal="20"
    maxIdle="5"
    maxWaitMillis="10000"
    username="sql2226123"
    password="cccccccc"
    driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    url="jdbc:mysql://sql2.freemysqlhosting.net:3306/sql2226123"
/>
</Context>

and my web.xml (placed at C:\Users\userName\eclipse-workspace\WebAppName\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF ):

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Here is my class constructor to make DB connection:

// constructor
public BookDbUtil() {
    try {
        Context initContext = new InitialContext();
        Context envContext = (Context) initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
        dataSource = (DataSource) envContext.lookup("ParkingBookSystem");
    } catch (NamingException e) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Could not initialize database", e);
    }
}

I'm using Maven, Eclipse and Tomcat this is what I've tried so far:

I have no more ideas, any one is able to help?


Solution

  • Ok I found solution... The thing is my META-INF with context.xml was in C:\Users\lukas\eclipse-workspace\ParkingBookSystem\src\main\resources\META-INF\context.xml when I put it into the: C:\Users\lukas\eclipse-workspace\ParkingBookSystem\src\main\webapp it started to work.
