I'm trying to set up a Spring 4 MVC application in STS using a Tomcat 8 server and an Oracle 11g database, and I'm having problems setting up the datasource.

I know there's nothing wrong with the Spring setup because, without the datasource, it works fine.

Here's the datasource bean:

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/env/jdbc/myDB" />
    <property name="resourceRef" value="false" />
</bean>

My web.xml resource ref:

<resource-ref>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/myDB</res-ref-name>
   <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
   <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

My Tomcat's server.xml resources:


-->

<Resource name="jdbc/myDB"
          global="jdbc/myDB"
          auth="Container"
          type="javax.sql.DataSource"
          username="xxxxx"
          password="yyyyyy"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx.yyy"
          driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
          initialSize="20"
          maxWaitMillis="15000"
          maxTotal="75"
          maxIdle="20"
          maxAge="7200000"
          testOnBorrow="true"
          validationQuery="select 1 from dual"
          />

And my context.xml

  <ResourceLink name="jdbc/myDB"
    global="jdbc/myDB"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

The error I'm getting is this:

ERROR: Unable obtain JDBC Connection java.sql.SQLException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null' at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSource.createConnectionFactory(BasicDataSource.java:2167) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.java:2037) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSource.getConnection(BasicDataSource.java:1543) at org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.connections.internal.DatasourceConnectionProviderImpl.getConnection(DatasourceConnectionProviderImpl.java:122) at org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryImpl$1.obtainConnection(SessionFactoryImpl.java:419) at org.hibernate.hql.spi.id.IdTableHelper.executeIdTableCreationStatements(IdTableHelper.java:67) at org.hibernate.hql.spi.id.global.GlobalTemporaryTableBulkIdStrategy.finishPreparation(GlobalTemporaryTableBulkIdStrategy.java:125) at org.hibernate.hql.spi.id.global.GlobalTemporaryTableBulkIdStrategy.finishPreparation(GlobalTemporaryTableBulkIdStrategy.java:42) at org.hibernate.hql.spi.id.AbstractMultiTableBulkIdStrategyImpl.prepare(AbstractMultiTableBulkIdStrategyImpl.java:88) at org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryImpl.(SessionFactoryImpl.java:302) at org.hibernate.boot.internal.SessionFactoryBuilderImpl.build(SessionFactoryBuilderImpl.java:445) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:710) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:726) at org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean.buildSessionFactory(LocalSessionFactoryBean.java:511) at org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet(LocalSessionFactoryBean.java:495) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.invokeInitMethods(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1687) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1624) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.doCreateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:555) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:483) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory$1.getObject(AbstractBeanFactory.java:306) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.getSingleton(DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.java:230) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:302) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:197) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.preInstantiateSingletons(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:742) at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.finishBeanFactoryInitialization(AbstractApplicationContext.java:866) at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(AbstractApplicationContext.java:542) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:668) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.createWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:634) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.createWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:682) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.initWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:553) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.initServletBean(FrameworkServlet.java:494) at org.springframework.web.servlet.HttpServletBean.init(HttpServletBean.java:138) at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.init(GenericServlet.java:158) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.initServlet(StandardWrapper.java:1183) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:1099) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:989) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContext.java:4940) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal(StandardContext.java:5250) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$StartChild.call(ContainerBase.java:1419) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$StartChild.call(ContainerBase.java:1409) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver at java.sql.DriverManager.getDriver(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSource.createConnectionFactory(BasicDataSource.java:2151) ... 44 more

My Tomcat lib directory has the ojdbc jar that I need, and I've even included it on my build script. What could be causing this?

Check your connection URL. Also, always use the long form of the connection URL where you could pass various connection descriptors.

Example: jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(HOST=myhost)(PORT=1521)(PROTOCOL=tcp))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=myorcldbservicename)))

The solution was as simple as it was embarrassingly stupid. Since I was working in Eclipse, Eclipse generates and uses its own server.xml and context.xml documents in a Servers directory. Once I put my datasource into those files, everything worked fine
