Regarding connection pooling and JNDI in WASCE 2.1 using Eclipse   

I found "/WEB-INF/lib/tranql-connector-mysql-local-1.2.rar" in geronimo-application.xml, so it seems that your have put geronimo-application.xml into web directory, not application directory. Could you please attach your project's directory structure or the whole project to help me to get more information?

thanks jeff and eternaljian for your response

going through this site once again .. i managed how to configure jndi n pooling...ya i was making a mistake earlier...

http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/geronimo-webxml.html

the easiest way for configuring has to be the following ;

go to services tab and then to Database pools in the console navigation of WASCE 2.1.*

Create a new database pool using "the Geronimo database pool wizard"

for database type select : DB2 XA for db2 udb databases...for any other database u can select the type here...

for db2 Select latest versions of db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_licence_cu.jar .. .. for any other database u can select here likewise ..if not present u can even download the jars

fill in the details and Deploy ..

your connection pool might be configured and running now ... .. to find how to use it click on "usage" under Actions

u'll have the necessary code and use it appropriately in the web deployment plan and geronimo deployment plan...

and use the code given below in your web application.
