Cannot create JDBC driver of class ‘ ‘ for connect URL ‘null’ : I do not understand this exception

by

I can’t see anything obviously wrong, but perhaps a different approach might help you debug it?

You could try specify your datasource in the per-application-context instead of the global tomcat one.

You can do this by creating a src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml (I’m assuming you’re using the standard maven directory structure – if not, then the META-INF folder should be a sibling of your WEB-INF directory). The contents of the META-INF/context.xml file would look something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Context [optional other attributes as required]>

<Resource name="jdbc/PollDatasource" auth="Container"
          type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver"
          url="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/poll_database;create=true"
          username="suhail" password="suhail" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1"/>
</Context>

Obviously the path and docBase would need to match your application’s specific details.

Using this approach, you don’t have to specify the datasource details in Tomcat’s context.xml file. Although, if you have multiple applications talking to the same database, then your approach makes more sense.

At any rate, give this a whirl and see if it makes any difference. It might give us a clue as to what is going wrong with your approach.
