jakarta not working on the secondary machine

[maxpower1]

we have two unix servers(primary and backup). the application usually runs tomcat 4.1.24 that is sitting on the primary box. We use name for the web server. hence, when you connect, you type in:-

http://MYSERVER/my_app/login.jsp

if you fail over, then MYSERVER will be hosted by the tomcat running on the secondary server.

Somehow on the secondary server, the application fails to connect to the Oracle db through the Oracle JDBC driver! WHen we run it using jdeveloper(on the second machine), it runs ok (meaning it connects to the database and everything). but the deployed version somehow failed to connect to the database on the secondary machine. The page shows up and everything but we just cannot log on.

any thoughts what is causing this event? thx

You can't bring back a dead thread!

Sounds maybe like the user you are starting Tomcat with cannot see the db server - logged in as this user can you rsh or ping the db server ?
