To Create the Data Source

These instructions are for Tomcat 6. They will not work with Tomcat 4.x or 5.x.

1. Verify that the environment variable TOMCAT_HOME is set correctly.

2. Copy the JDBC driver JAR for your database type to Tomcat's lib directory ($TOMCAT_HOME/lib).

3. Define the data source for Tomcat by editing $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml and adding a resource reference as follows:

   <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>jdbc/IDM_database</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref>

4. Define the data source for the Identity Manager webapp by editing the webapp deployment context (for example, $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/idm.xml) and adding the data source resource as follows:

   <Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/IDM_database" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" password="waveset" maxIdle="5" maxWait="5000" username="waveset" url="jdbc:mysql://mysqlhost:3306/waveset" maxActive="150"/>

   Note –

   In the <resource-ref> element, the value of the <resource-ref name> element must be the same as the name attribute in the <Resource> element.

   Be sure to change the attributes in the <Resource> element to match your environment.
