present i am developing one web site in that i am using tomcat 5.
i am trying to establish connection pooling in tomcat,i am facing some problems..
tomcat throws the following exception ie.,
cannot create JDBC Driver class for connect URL null.
my code lik this
i configured the web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app>
<resource-ref>
<description>Oracle Datasource example</description>

and i studied the the tomcat documentation in that tomcat mentioned
The configuration properties for Tomcat's standard data source resource factory (org.apache.naming.factory.DbcpDataSourceFactory) are as follows:
driverClassName - Fully qualified Java class name of the JDBC driver to be used.
maxActive - The maximum number of active instances that can be allocated from this pool at the same time.
maxIdle - The maximum number of connections that can sit idle in this pool at the same time.
maxWait - The maximum number of milliseconds that the pool will wait (when there are no available connections) for a connection to be returned before throwing an exception.
password - Database password to be passed to our JDBC driver.
url - Connection URL to be passed to our JDBC driver. (For backwards compatibility, the property driverName is also recognized.)
user - Database username to be passed to our JDBC driver.
validationQuery - SQL query that can be used by the pool to validate connections before they are returned to the application. If specified, this query MUST be an SQL SELECT statement that returns at least one row.
how to configure server.xml file
and how to get the org.apache.naming.factory.DbcpDataSourceFactory
please help me...this module is very very urgen to me..
