Hello all,

i rtfm, stfw but have this problem unsolved.
I configured my <datasource> Tag:

<data-sources>
<data-source type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<set-property
property="driverClassName"
value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />
<set-property
property="url"
value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:datbase" />
<set-property
property="username"
value="me" />
<set-property
property="password"
value="xxxxx" />
<set-property
property="maxActive"
value="10" />
<set-property
property="maxWait"
value="5000" />
<set-property
property="defaultAutoCommit"
value="false" />
<set-property
property="defaultReadOnly"
value="false" />
<set-property
property="validationQuery"
value="SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t_config" />
</data-source>
</data-sources>

When I start my server, the following error appears on the browser:
[root cause]
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/struts/legacy/GenericDataSource
...

I don't understand this... am i not using the dbcp?
The commons-dbcp.jar is in my classpath, of course.
Maybe you could give me some hint to solve this.

Thank you!
Chris

BTW: I use Struts 1.1 RC2 and Tomcat 4.1.12

Place commons-dbcp.jar in the corresponding web app lib directory i.e. C:\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\YOUR_APP\WEB-INF\lib

There is a jar file called struts-legacy.jar that contains the GenericDataSource and GenericConnection classes. Not sure how long this jar has been included in the distribution, but I just downloaded the 1.1 release and it's there. You need to get this jar and put it in the WEB-INF\lib directory.

Thanks Kalin, but this was not the problem.
Chuck was right, the struts-legacy.jar was not copied in my webapp/lib!
Thank you for this tip!

Regards,
Chris


BTW: Progamming Jakarta Struts is welldone! Congrats on that @chuck

If you're hosting on 9iAS as well as using Oracle for a db, I've found that iAS is much happier using a JNDI source.

It will look something like:

<data-sources>
<data-source name="bcsatDS"
     class="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource"
     username="[username]"
     password="[password]"
     url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@[your db]"
     connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
     location="jdbc/[location]" xa-location="jdbc/xa/[location]"
     ejb-location="jdbc/[location]"
     connection-retry-interval="5"
     max-connect-attempts="3"
     inactivity-timeout="120"
     max-connections="400"
     min-connections="20"
     wait-timeout="120"/>
</data-sources>

Hope that helps.
