I can't make it work to get connection from DataSource obtained from JNDI in tomcat 7.0, resulting in error like this:
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of cla
ss '' for connect URL 'null'
I have done in many ways following the doc and other people suggestions, but still not able to fix it. Here are my settings:
In web.xml:
<resource-ref>
<description>MyDataSource</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/MyDataSource</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
In context.xml:
<Context>
<Resource name="jdbc/MyDataSource" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="abc" password="abc" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@123.123.123.123:1521:xe"/>
<!-- // tried both driver class names but all not work driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" -->
</Context>
Also, I tried to put that in server.xml, also not work
<Resource name="jdbc/MyDataSource" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@123.123.123.123:1521:xe"
servicename="MyDataSource" username="abc" password="abc"
maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="20000"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/MyDataSource">
<parameter>
<name>user</name>
<value>abc</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>password</name>
<value>abc</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>driverClassName</name>
<value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value>
</parameter>
</ResourceParams>
Put classes12.jar as well as ojdbc14.jar in Tomcat 7.0\lib
Can anyone point me the right way?
I wasted so much time on that configuration but still cannot make it work. Thanks in advance!

And here is the code, exception at ds.getConnection. (It is not typical way to get DS, bcoz need to match WebSphere way...)
Properties env = new Properties();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory");
initCtx = new InitialContext(env);
DataSource ds = (DataSource) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MyDataSource");
System.err.println("DS: " + ds.toString());
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
I realized that I defined the resource twice, once in my TOMCAT_HOME/conf/context.xml and in my applicationPath/META-INF/context.xml. Once I removed the resource from TOMCAT_HOME/conf/context.xml everything worked great.
