tomcat configuration

With Database Connection Pooling (DBCP), we can scale our applications to handle increased load and deliver high performance benefits. Using recycled database connection objects cuts the time taken to re-instantiate and load frequently used objects, thus reducing unnecessary overheads. Our approach to DBCP uses the Jakarta-Commons database connection pool. But first, we need to configure the JNDI DataSource in Tomcat by adding a declaration for the resource to server.xml file , which resides inside the /conf directory of your Tomcat installation (indicated by the environment variable CATALINA_HOME). The JNDI DataSource is used as a factory for connections. One of the major advantages of using a configuration like this is that the characteristics of the pool can be changed without affecting the application code. server.xml ======================================== ......... <Host > <Context path="/edi-web" docBase="edi-web" debug="5" ...
