Web.xml

[skw8966]

I'm trying to set up a JDBC connection to a MySQL database in my tomcat server. I've referenced the JNDI Datasource How-To sheet and followed the instructions. I added a declaration to the server.xml file. How it tells me to create a Web-Inf/web.xml.

Where do I save this file once I create it? There is already a file by that name in the /usr/tomcat/conf directory. Do I overwrite it?

I'm very new at using Tomcat and Linux, so if you could explain in newbie terms, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Try first adding your datasource contexts in %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/myproject/WEB-INF (or if you dont have your own context and am developing in ROOT, then TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF.

Dont overwrite the web.xml file in conf.
