Configure hibernate to connect to database via JNDI Datasource
Hi all I'm using Hibernate+Struts2+Tomcat6+Mysql as my J2EE framework. I've been using hibernate's built-in connection pooling mechanism but it turned out to be problematic where mysql closes it's connections after 8 hours. Anyway I googled around a little bit and found that I should get my connections through JNDI datasource but I couldn't reach a good and complete tutorial on this. What steps should I take to do so? please provide me enough of details, I'm kinda new on this. here is my hibernate.cfg.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">
jdbc:mysql://localhost/hposg?characterEncoding=UTF-8
</property>
<property name="connection.username">root</property>
<property name="connection.password"></property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property>
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
<property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth">3</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.provider_class">org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.acquire_increment">2</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">300</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">1800</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">25</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size" >3</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_statement">0</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.preferredTestQuery">select 1;</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.testConnectionOnCheckout">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.validate">true</property>
<!-- Mapping files -->
<mapping resource="com/hposg/hibernate/resources/Player.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="com/hposg/hibernate/resources/Game.hbm.xml"/>
...
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
I also tried this but it didn't work out: Creating a context.xml in WebContent/META-INF containing:
<Context path="" docBase="../RSGames" debug="0" reloadable="true">
<Resource name="jdbc/RSGames" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="root"
password=""
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hposg?autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8"
maxActive="15"
maxIdle="7"
validationQuery="Select 1" />
</Context>
putting this in web.xml:
<resource-ref>
<description>Connection Pool</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/RSGames</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.Datasource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
and modifying hibernate config like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
...
<property name="connection.datasource">java:comp/env/jdbc/RSGames</property>
...
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
as I mentioned before, it doesn't get connected to database this way. any ideas?
[EDIT] When I execute the app I get this exception:

Apparently, you did it right. But here is a list of things you'll need with examples from a working application:
1) A context.xml file in META-INF, specifying your data source:
<Context>
<Resource
name="jdbc/DsWebAppDB"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="sa"
password=""
driverClassName="org.h2.Driver"
url="jdbc:h2:mem:target/test/db/h2/hibernate"
maxActive="8"
maxIdle="4"/>
</Context>
2) web.xml which tells the container that you are using this resource:
<resource-env-ref>
<resource-env-ref-name>jdbc/DsWebAppDB</resource-env-ref-name>
<resource-env-ref-type>javax.sql.DataSource</resource-env-ref-type>
</resource-env-ref>
3) Hibernate configuration which consumes the data source. In this case, it's a persistence.xml, but it's similar in hibernate.cfg.xml
<persistence-unit name="dswebapp">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.datasource" value="java:comp/env/jdbc/DsWebAppDB"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
