Hi,
On debugging Tomcat (7.0.59), I noticed that the SelectorContext is
initialized twice when a lookup is performed for JNDI defined in web
application (META-INF/context.xml).
When the lookup is performed, the Servlet first calls the init method of
InitailContext and this "returns new SelectorContext(env, true)". Then it
calls the lookup method of InitialContext which again initializes the
SelectorContext but now it "returns new SelectorContext(env)" [where the
SelectorContextor.initialContext is set to *false*] and then the lookup is
performed.
Why is tomcat initializing the SelectorContext twice here?
My Java Webapp Code which does the lookup:
*initCtx = new InitialContext();*
*Context envContext = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");*
*DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) envContext.lookup("*jdbc/contextDB
*");*
Resource defined in META-INF/context.xml in webapp:
<Resource name="jdbc/contextDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="user" password="user123" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/WebAppTestDB"/>
