Summary: connectUsingDriver should use thread context classloader to load driver Product: Tomcat Modules Version: unspecified Platform: PC Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: jdbc-pool AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org ReportedBy: bal...@gmail.com The issue is described in this Stackoverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4790589/sqlexception-w-tomcat-7-0-jdbc-connection-pool-and-mysql Summarized, in a situation where Spring is been used to manage the `org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource`, the JDBC driver class is not found, even though it was placed in `${catalina.home}/lib`. The Tomcat JDBC throws the following exception: java.sql.SQLException: "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" at org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.PooledConnection.connectUsingDriver(PooledConnection.java:243) at org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.PooledConnection.connect(PooledConnection.java:176) The source code of `PooledConnection` learns me that it is attempting to load the driver by the same classloader as the `PooledConnection` class itself is been loaded. This should rather have been the thread context classloader as follows. driver = (java.sql.Driver) Class.forName(poolProperties.getDriverClassName(), true, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()).newInstance(); -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
