I have a website hosted at Godaddy where I use JNDI to manage DB connections. Godaddy is using Tomcat 5.5.27 with JDK 1.5. I am also using the same versions locally.
JNDI works fine at my local development environment, but when I run it at Godaddy, I get the following exception message:
Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'
I have placed everything correctly in Godaddy server as in my local system.
Here is the context.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context>
<!-- Specify a JDBC datasource -->
<Resource
name="jdbc/interviewzone"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

</Context>
Here is the relevant part of my Java code:
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/interviewzone");
Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection(); // This throws exception.
I have included the resources in web.xml
. Because it runs locally fine, I think that there is no problem in the code. I have contacted Godaddy, but they are technically weak. They told that the problem is in my code, but I don't agree with them because it is running locally fine.
