the following is the entry in the struts-config.xml:
<data-sources>
<data-source type="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<set-property
property="driverClassName"
value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<set-property
property="url"
value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/refinery" />

<set-property
property="key"
value="refineryDS" />
</data-source>
</data-sources>
when i comment the datasources entry in the struts-config.xml the application starts but if i enable the datasources entry above i get the mentioned error!
<global-forwards>
<forward name="welcome" path="/welcome.do"/>
<forward name="home" path="/welcome.do"/>
</global-forwards>
<action-mappings>
<action
path="/welcome"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="/WEB-INF/user/home.jsp"/>
</action-mappings>
so plz help me out becoz i cant seem to tackle this error! remember if i comment out the datasources entry the app starts but i need it because i have to connect to the db to make a option list. thnx for ure time....... and yes the entry in the log file is like this:
2005-12-28 20:01:20 StandardWrapperValve[action]: Servlet action is currently unavailable
thats abt it sorry for the long post but i've tried everything and i want u guys to look at it and teme wots wrong. thnx in advance!
p.s- follwoing r the files:
In Re-finery\Sources\Site\WEB-INF\ the following files r present:
struts-bean.tld, struts-html.tld, struts-logic.tld, struts-nested.tld, struts-template.tld, struts-tiles.tld, copy of struts config.xml, struts-config.xml, tiles-defs.xml, validation.xml, validator-rules.xml, web.xml
In Re-finery\Sources\Site\WEB-INF\lib\ the following files r present:
commons-beanutils.jar, commons-collections.jar, commons-dbcp.jar, commons-digester.jar, commons-fileupload.jar, commons-lang.jar, commons-logging.jar, commons-logging-api.jar, commons-pool.jar, commons-resources.jar, commons-validator.jar, mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-s...jar,struts.jar, quartz.jar
and ive made sure that all other files r in thr respective folders, i've made another app that doesnt use struts to check that it connects to the db and it does! so.......?
p.p.s- i have the following code too in my web.xml:
<resource-ref>
<description>DB Connection</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/refineryDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
