help a Tomcat-impaired Windows guy out?

[Andrew Badera]

Hi all-

Having difficulty pointing a JNDI datasource at SQL Server on a Tomcat 5.5.28 install on 64-bit Windows 2008R2 deployment. The application's installer tests the connection info during install and creates resource entries in conf/Catalina/localhost/appname, then on application startup complains about datasource not found. When I add a resource-ref to tomcat's web.xml, I get a complaint about:

Error connecting to the database.

Please check that the database is available and properly configured then restart the application.

Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'

Trying to get admin/manager areas accessible so I can verify the JNDI info but that's choking on me too. Manager doesn't want to display anything, Admin gives me MBeanManager exceptions when I attempt to add the JNDI entry via the UI ...

I've probably screwed more up at this point than I've made progress ... any advice for a thoroughly confuzzled Windows guy?

Thanks in advance!

Isn't there a local Java user's group? ;) ;) ;D All joking aside
you're doing stuff in Tomcat I've never done. I always used JBoss and
the JNDI db setup that it uses, which I believe is different than
Tomcat. So, I'm of little to no help on this one.
