Thread: PostgreSQL and Tomcat?

PostgreSQL and Tomcat?

From
"Chris Parsons"
Date:
I have been successfully running Java code against a PostgrSQL server
running under CygWin, on a W2K
PC, and am wondering if it is possible to run Servlets the same way?

I have some test code that keeps failing when connecting to the server - the
message I am getting is
Error: JDBC Class creation: null

Truthfully I am not sure where to put the pgjdbc2.jar file - I have tried

D:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\Lib
D:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\Common
D:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\Server\Lib
D:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\Server\Classes

or whether I need to tweak the Tomcat config to get it to load?

With normal Java code I put it in...

D:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\ext

but can't find anything similar!

Any advice would be appreciated, I am pulling my hair out <g>

Keep up the good work

Hi Chris,

Put the pgjdbc2.jar in the following directory:

    D:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\Common\lib

That's it.

Regards,
Satish.

Thank for all the advice folks!

You all agreed that the JAR file ought to go in TomCat's 'common\lib'
directory, which is encouraging,
so I have moved it, and restarted TomCat but still no joy!

I have also changed the code to use the ODBC driver to PostgreSQL and get
the same error - do I have
to do any configuration in TomCat to use PostgreSQL - for instance, set up a
'realm' or something??

Cheers
