Question

I googled but can’t find a solution for this. It is from Core JSF 3rd.

I did:

1) Included JSF Mojarra in Build path.

2) Included MySQL JDBC driver in Build path.

3) Copied MySQL JDBC driver to Tomcat “lib” folder and “ext” JDK folder.

4) I tested JDBC driver with a small Java app and it succeeded.

CustomerBean from corejsf source code:

public class CustomerBean {
    @Resource(name="jdbc/corejsf")
    private DataSource source;

    public ResultSet getAll() throws SQLException {
        Connection conn = source.getConnection();
        try {
            Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
            ResultSet result = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Customers");
            // return ResultSupport.toResult(result);
            CachedRowSet crs = new com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl();
            // or use an implementation from your database vendor
            crs.populate(result);
            return crs;
        } finally {
            conn.close();
        }
    }
}

Error:

Answer 1

You need to configure a JNDI datasource with the name jdbc/corejsf in Tomcat.
