Configuring Postgres Driver (Connector) for tomcat7


I have been trying to get my jsp code having some postgresql queries to work. I don't know what seems to be the problem, whether it is a problem with the configuration of the jdbc Driver or there is a problem with my code.

Here is the configuration in context.xml .

<Resource name="jdbc/filedb" auth="Container"
          type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
          url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/testdb"
          username="akshay" password="akshay" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
maxWait="-1"/> 

I also want to know what is resource name. Here I have added the table name whichis filedb.

This is how server.xml looks.

 <GlobalNamingResources>

    <Resource name="jdbc/filedb" auth="Container"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource"
          username="akshay" 
          password="akshay"
          driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
              description="User database that can be updated and saved"
          url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/testdb"
          maxActive="20" 
          maxIdle="10"
          maxWait="-1"
              factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
              pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
  </GlobalNamingResources>
 

I tried to run with and also without the above configuration.

This is what I've added to web.xml

  <resource-ref>
 <description>postgreSQL Datasource example</description>
 <res-ref-name>jdbc/filedb</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

This is my code:

<html>
<body>
<form name=f1 method=Post action="http://localhost:8080/filedb1.jsp">

Table filedb

    Table "public.filedb"
 Column  |  Type   | Modifiers 
---------+---------+-----------
 id      | integer | not null
 header  | text    | not null
 content | text    | not null

I don't get any errors but there is no update in the table. There are no new records.

I apologize for the bad indentation and the trivial nature of my problem but I have not been able to surpass it. Any help is appreciated.


Solution

  • So I used mysql connector instead.

    This is what I added to web.xml

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

    Here is what I added to context.xml

    <Resource name="jdbc/filedb" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
        maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
        username="akshay" password="akshay" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
        url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test?autoReconnect=true"/>
    

    And lastly this is what went inside server.xml

    <Resource name="jdbc/filedb" auth="Container"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource"
              username="akshay"
              password="akshay"
              driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
              description="User database that can be updated and saved"
              url="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test"
              maxActive="20"
              maxIdle="10"
              maxWait="-1"
              factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
              pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
    

    I don't know why its not working with postgresql but the code is actually the same.
