14<p>JNDI Datasource configuration is covered extensively in the
15JNDI-Resources-HOWTO.  However, feedback from <code>tomcat-user</code> has
16shown that specifics for individual configurations can be rather tricky.</p>
17
18<p>Here then are some example configurations that have been posted to
19tomcat-user for popular databases and some general tips for db useage.</p>
20
21<p>You should be aware that since these notes are derived from configuration
22and/or feedback posted to <code>tomcat-user</code> YMMV :-). Please let us
23know if you have any other tested configurations that you feel may be of use
24to the wider audience, or if you feel we can improve this section in anyway.</p>
25
26<p>
27<b>Please note that JNDI resource configuration changed somewhat between
28Tomcat 5.0.x and Tomcat 5.5.x.</b>  You will most likely need to modify older
29JNDI resource configurations to match the syntax in the example below in order
30to make them work in Tomcat 6.x.x.
31</p>
32
33<p>
34Also, please note that JNDI DataSource configuration in general, and this
35tutorial in particular, assumes that you have read and understood the
36<a href="../config/context.html">Context</a> and
37<a href="../config/host.html">Host</a> configuration references, including
38the section about Automatic Application Deployment in the latter reference.

69<p>
70A database connection pool creates and manages a pool of connections
71to a database. Recycling and reusing already existing connections
72to a dB is more efficient than opening a new connection.
73</p>
74
75<p>
76There is one problem with connection pooling.  A web application has
77to explicetely close ResultSet's, Statement's, and Connection's.
78Failure of a web application to close these resources can result in
79them never being available again for reuse, a db connection pool "leak".
80This can eventually result in your web application db connections failing
81if there are no more available connections.</p>
82
83<p>
84There is a solution to this problem.  The Jakarta-Commons DBCP can be
85configured to track and recover these abandoned dB connections.  Not
86only can it recover them, but also generate a stack trace for the code
87which opened these resources and never closed them.</p>
88
89<p>
90To configure a DBCP DataSource so that abandoned dB connections are
91removed and recycled add the following attribute to the
92<code>Resource</code> configuration for your DBCP DataSource:
93<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./../images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./../images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./../images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./../images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>

96When available db connections run low DBCP will recover and recyle
97any abandoned dB connections it finds. The default is <code>false</code>.
98</p>
99
100<p>
101Use the <code>removeAbandonedTimeout</code> attribute to set the number
102of seconds a dB connection has been idle before it is considered abandoned.
103<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./../images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./../images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./../images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./../images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>

106The default timeout for removing abandoned connections is 300 seconds.
107</p>
108
109<p>
110The <code>logAbandoned</code> attribute can be set to <code>true</code>
111if you want DBCP to log a stack trace of the code which abandoned the
112dB connection resources.

283<h3>0.    Introduction</h3>
284
285<p>Oracle requires minimal changes from the MySQL configuration except for the
286usual gotchas :-)</p>
287<p>Drivers for older Oracle versions may be distributed as *.zip files rather
288than *.jar files. Tomcat will only use <code>*.jar</code> files installed in
289<code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code>. Therefore <code>classes111.zip</code>
290or <code>classes12.zip</code> will need to be renamed with a <code>.jar</code>
291extension. Since jarfiles are zipfiles, there is no need to unzip and jar these
292files - a simple rename will suffice.</p>
293
294<p>For Oracle 9i onwards you should use <code>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</code>
295rather than <code>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</code> as Oracle have stated
296that <code>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</code> is deprecated and support
297for this driver class will be discontinued in the next major release.
298</p>
299
300<h3>1. Context configuration</h3>
301<p>In a similar manner to the mysql config above, you will need to define your
302Datasource in your <a href="../config/context.html">Context</a>. Here we define a
303Datasource called myoracle using the thin driver to connect as user scott,
304password tiger to the sid called mysid. (Note: with the thin driver this sid is
305not the same as the tnsname). The schema used will be the default schema for the
306user scott.</p>
307
308<p>Use of the OCI driver should simply involve a changing thin to oci in the URL string.

343<h3>0.    Introduction</h3>
344<p>PostgreSQL is configured in a similar manner to Oracle.</p>
345
346<h3>1. Required files </h3>
347<p>
348Copy the Postgres JDBC jar to $CATALINA_HOME/lib. As with Oracle, the
349jars need to be in this directory in order for DBCP's Classloader to find
350them. This has to be done regardless of which configuration step you take next.
351</p>
352
353<h3>2. Resource configuration</h3>
354
355<p>
356You have two choices here: define a datasource that is shared across all Tomcat
357applications, or define a datasource specifically for one application.
358</p>
359
360<h4>2a. Shared resource configuration</h4>
361<p>
362Use this option if you wish to define a datasource that is shared across
363multiple Tomcat applications, or if you just prefer defining your datasource
364in this file.

378Use this option if you wish to define a datasource specific to your application,
379not visible to other Tomcat applications. This method is less invasive to your
380Tomcat installation.
381</p>
382
383<p>
384Create a resource definition for your <a href="../config/context.html">Context</a>.

471where database is of the form <code>host:port:SID</code> Now if you try to access the URL of your
472test servlet/jsp and what you get is a
473<code>ServletException</code> with a root cause of <code>java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:get_env_handle</code>.
474</p>
475<p>
476First, the <code>UnsatisfiedLinkError</code> indicates that you have
477<ul>
478<li>a mismatch between your JDBC classes file and
479your Oracle client version. The giveaway here is the message stating that a needed library file cannot be
480found. For example, you may be using a classes12.zip file from Oracle Version 8.1.6 with a Version 8.1.5
481Oracle client. The classeXXXs.zip file and Oracle client software versions must match.
482</li>
483<li>A <code>$PATH</code>, <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> problem.</li>
484<li>It has been reported that ignoring the driver you have downloded from otn and using
485the classes12.zip file from the directory <code>$ORAHOME\jdbc\lib</code> will also work.
486</li>
487</ul>
488</p>
489<p>
490Next you may experience the error <code>ORA-06401 NETCMN: invalid driver designator</code>
491</p>
492<p>
493The Oracle documentation says : "Cause: The login (connect) string contains an invalid
494driver designator. Action: Correct the string and re-submit."
495
496Change the database connect string (of the form <code>host:port:SID</code>) with this one:
497<code>(description=(address=(host=myhost)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=orcl)))</code>

509Tomcat runs within a JVM.  The JVM periodically performs garbage collection
510(GC) to remove java objects which are no longer being used.  When the JVM
511performs GC execution of code within Tomcat freezes. If the maximum time
512configured for establishment of a dB connection is less than the amount
513of time garbage collection took you can get a db conneciton failure.
514</p>
515
516<p>To collect data on how long garbage collection is taking add the
517<code>-verbose:gc</code> argument to your <code>CATALINA_OPTS</code>
518environment variable when starting Tomcat.  When verbose gc is enabled
519your <code>$CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out</code> log file will include
520data for every garbage collection including how long it took.</p>
521
522<p>When your JVM is tuned correctly 99% of the time a GC will take less
523than one second.  The remainder will only take a few seconds.  Rarely,
524if ever should a GC take more than 10 seconds.</p>
525
526<p>Make sure that the db connection timeout is set to 10-15 seconds.
527For the DBCP you set this using the parameter <code>maxWait</code>.</p>

533These can occur when one request gets a db connection from the connection
534pool and closes it twice.  When using a connection pool, closing the
535connection just returns it to the pool for reuse by another request,
536it doesn't close the connection.  And Tomcat uses multiple threads to
537handle concurrent requests. Here is an example of the sequence
538of events which could cause this error in Tomcat:
539<pre>
540  Request 1 running in Thread 1 gets a db connection.
541
542  Request 1 closes the db connection.
543
544  The JVM switches the running thread to Thread 2
545
546  Request 2 running in Thread 2 gets a db connection
547  (the same db connection just closed by Request 1).
548
549  The JVM switches the running thread back to Thread 1
550
551  Request 1 closes the db connection a second time in a finally block.
552
553  The JVM switches the running thread back to Thread 2
554
555  Request 2 Thread 2 tries to use the db connection but fails
556  because Request 1 closed it.
557</pre>
558Here is an example of properly written code to use a db connection
559obtained from a connection pool:
560<pre>
561  Connection conn = null;
562  Statement stmt = null;  // Or PreparedStatement if needed
563  ResultSet rs = null;
564  try {
565    conn = ... get connection from connection pool ...
566    stmt = conn.createStatement("select ...");
567    rs = stmt.executeQuery();
568    ... iterate through the result set ...
569    rs.close();
570    rs = null;
571    stmt.close();
572    stmt = null;
573    conn.close(); // Return to connection pool
574    conn = null;  // Make sure we don't close it twice
575  } catch (SQLException e) {
576    ... deal with errors ...
577  } finally {
578    // Always make sure result sets and statements are closed,
579    // and the connection is returned to the pool
580    if (rs != null) {
581      try { rs.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }
582      rs = null;
583    }
584    if (stmt != null) {
585      try { stmt.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }
586      stmt = null;
587    }
588    if (conn != null) {
589      try { conn.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { ; }
590      conn = null;
591    }
592  }
