it is working great upto datasource lookup. it is also providing me datasource like follows.

ds === org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource@1568654

but while calling the function ds.getConnection()
it is giving me error..

my context.xml contains

<Context path="/Perimeter_with_datasource" docBase="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\Perimeter_with_datasource" crossContext="true"
debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

<!-- maxActive: Maximum number of dB connections in pool. Make sure you
configure your mysqld max_connections large enough to handle
all of your db connections. Set to 0 for no limit.
-->

<!-- maxIdle: Maximum number of idle dB connections to retain in pool.
Set to -1 for no limit. See also the DBCP documentation on this
and the minEvictableIdleTimeMillis configuration parameter.
-->

<!-- maxWait: Maximum time to wait for a dB connection to become available
in ms, in this example 10 seconds. An Exception is thrown if
this timeout is exceeded. Set to -1 to wait indefinitely.
-->

<!-- username and password: MySQL dB username and password for dB connections -->

<!-- driverClassName: Class name for the old mm.mysql JDBC driver is
org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver - we recommend using Connector/J though.
Class name for the official MySQL Connector/J driver is com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.
-->

<!-- url: The JDBC connection url for connecting to your MySQL dB.
The autoReconnect=true argument to the url makes sure that the
mm.mysql JDBC Driver will automatically reconnect if mysqld closed the
connection. mysqld by default closes idle connections after 8 hours.

[Eku]

i dont know Tomcat but i have a experience in working with Oracle10g. I have a few questions.
Have you installed the Oracle Connector "classes12.jar" to your JDK? Have you tried connecting to it using java?

Your connection String is Fine. Can you post your code please.
