<p>Tomcat 6 provides a JNDI <strong>InitialContext</strong> implementation
instance for each web application running under it, in a manner that is 
compatible with those provided by a 
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2ee">Java2 Enterprise Edition</a> application 
server. 

The J2EE standard provides a standard set of elements in 
the <code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file to reference resources; resources 
referenced in these elements must be defined in an application-server-specific
configuration. 
</p>

<p>For Tomcat 6, these entries in per-web-application 
<code>InitialContext</code> are configured in the 
<a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> elements that
can be specified in either <code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml</code> or,
preferably, the per-web-application context XML file (
<code>META-INF/context.xml</code>).
</p>

<p>Tomcat 6 maintains a separate namespace of global resources for the 
entire server.  These are configured in the 
<a href="config/globalresources.html">
<code><strong>&lt;GlobalNameingResources&gt;</strong></code></a> element of 
<code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml</code>. You may expose these resources to 
web applications by using 
<code><strong>&lt;ResourceLink&gt;</strong></code> elements.
</p>

<p>The resources defined in these elements
may be referenced by the following elements in the web application deployment
descriptor (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>) of your web application:</p>
<ul>
<li><code><strong>&lt;env-entry&gt;</strong></code> - Environment entry, a
    single-value parameter that can be used to configure how the application
    will operate.</li>
<li><code><strong>&lt;resource-ref&gt;</strong></code> - Resource reference,
    which is typically to an object factory for resources such as a JDBC
    <code>DataSource</code>, a JavaMail <code>Session</code>, or custom
    object factories configured into Tomcat 6.</li>
<li><code><strong>&lt;resource-env-ref&gt;</strong></code> - Resource
    environment reference, a new variation of <code>resource-ref</code>
    added in Servlet 2.4 that is simpler to configure for resources
    that do not require authentication information.</li>
</ul>

<p>The <code>InitialContext</code> is configured as a web application is
initially deployed, and is made available to web application components (for
read-only access).  All configured entries and resources are placed in
the <code>java:comp/env</code> portion of the JNDI namespace, so a typical
access to a resource - in this case, to a JDBC <code>DataSource</code> -
would look something like this:</p>

<p>Each available JNDI Resource is configured based on inclusion of the
following elements in the
<a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="config/context.html#Environment Entries">&lt;Environment&gt;</a> -
    Configure names and values for scalar environment entries that will be
    exposed to the web application through the JNDI
    <code>InitialContext</code> (equivalent to the inclusion of an
    <code>&lt;env-entry&gt;</code> element in the web application
    deployment descriptor).</li>
<li><a href="config/context.html#Resource Definitions">&lt;Resource&gt;</a> -
    Configure the name and data type of a resource made available to the
    application (equivalent to the inclusion of a
    <code>&lt;resource-ref&gt;</code> element in the web application
    deployment descriptor).</li>
<li><a href="config/context.html#Resource Links">&lt;ResourceLink&gt;</a> -
    Add a link to a resource defined in the global JNDI context. Use resource 
    links to give a web application access to a resource defined in 
    the<a href="config/globalresources.html">&lt;GlobalNamingResources&gt;</a>
    child element of the <a href="config/server.html">&lt;Server&gt;</a>
    element.</li>
<li><a href="config/context.html#Transaction">&lt;Transaction&gt;</a> -
    Add a resource factory for instantiating the UserTransaction object 
    instance that is available at <code>java:comp/UserTransaction</code>.</li>

</ul>

<p>Any number of these elements may be nested inside a
<a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element (to be
associated only with that particular web application).</p>

<p>In addition, the names and values of all <code>&lt;env-entry&gt;</code>
elements included in the web application deployment descriptor
(<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>) are configured into the initial context as
well, overriding corresponding values from the
<a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element
<strong>only</strong> if allowed by the corresponding
<code>&lt;Environment&gt;</code> element (by setting the <code>override</code>
attribute to "true").</p>

<p>Global resources can be defined in the server-wide JNDI context, by adding
the resource elements described above to the
<a href="config/globalresources.html">&lt;GlobalNamingResources&gt;</a>
child element of the <a href="config/server.html">&lt;Server&gt;</a>
element and using a 
<a href="config/context.html#Resource Links">&lt;ResourceLink&gt;</a> to
include it in the per-web-application context.</p>

  <p>Tomcat 6 includes a series of standard resource factories that can
  provide services to your web applications, but give you configuration
  flexibility (via the
  <a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element)
  without modifying the web application or the deployment descriptor. Each

  <p>See <a href="#Adding Custom Resource Factories">Adding Custom
  Resource Factories</a> for information about how to create, install,
  configure, and use your own custom resource factory classes with
  Tomcat 6.</p>

  <p><em>NOTE</em> - Of the standard resource factories, only the
  "JDBC Data Source" and "User Transaction" factories are mandated to
  be available on other platforms, and then they are required only if
  the platform implements the Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) specs.
  All other standard resource factories, plus custom resource factories
  that you write yourself, are specific to Tomcat and cannot be assumed
  to be available on other containers.</p>

    <h3>0.  Introduction</h3>

    <p>This resource factory can be used to create objects of <em>any</em>
    Java class that conforms to standard JavaBeans naming conventions (i.e.
    it has a zero-arguments constructor, and has property setters that
    conform to the setFoo() naming pattern.  The resource factory will
    create a new instance of the appropriate bean class every time a
    <code>lookup()</code> for this entry is made.</p>

    <p>The steps required to use this facility are described below.</p>

    <h3>1.  Create Your JavaBean Class</h3>

    <p>Create the JavaBean class which will be instantiated each time
    that the resource factory is looked up.  For this example, assume
    you create a class <code>com.mycompany.MyBean</code>, which looks
    like this:</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>

public class MyBean {

  private String foo = "Default Foo";

  public String getFoo() {
    return (this.foo);
  }

  public void setFoo(String foo) {
    this.foo = foo;
  }

  private int bar = 0;

  public int getBar() {
    return (this.bar);
  }

  public void setBar(int bar) {
    this.bar = bar;
  }


}

  <h3>2.  Declare Your Resource Requirements</h3>

  <p>Next, modify your web application deployment descriptor
  (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>) to declare the JNDI name under which
  you will request new instances of this bean.  The simplest approach is
  to use a <code>&lt;resource-env-ref&gt;</code> element, like this:</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>
&lt;resource-env-ref&gt;
  &lt;description&gt;
    Object factory for MyBean instances.
  &lt;/description&gt;
  &lt;resource-env-ref-name&gt;
    bean/MyBeanFactory
  &lt;/resource-env-ref-name&gt;
  &lt;resource-env-ref-type&gt;
    com.mycompany.MyBean
  &lt;/resource-env-ref-type&gt;
&lt;/resource-env-ref&gt;
</pre></td><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr></table></div>

    <p><strong>WARNING</strong> - Be sure you respect the element ordering
    that is required by the DTD for web application deployment descriptors!
    See the
    <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html">Servlet
    Specification</a> for details.</p>

  <h3>3.  Code Your Application's Use Of This Resource</h3>

  <p>A typical use of this resource environment reference might look
  like this:</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
MyBean bean = (MyBean) envCtx.lookup("bean/MyBeanFactory");

writer.println("foo = " + bean.getFoo() + ", bar = " +
               bean.getBar());
</pre></td><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr></table></div>

    <h3>4.  Configure Tomcat's Resource Factory</h3>

    <p>To configure Tomcat's resource factory, add an element like this to the
    <a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element for
    this web application.</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>
&lt;Context ...&gt;
  ...
  &lt;Resource name="bean/MyBeanFactory" auth="Container"
            type="com.mycompany.MyBean"
            factory="org.apache.naming.factory.BeanFactory"
            bar="23"/&gt;
  ...
&lt;/Context&gt;
</pre></td><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr></table></div>

    <p>Note that the resource name (here, <code>bean/MyBeanFactory</code>
    must match the value specified in the web application deployment
    descriptor.  We are also initializing the value of the <code>bar</code>
    property, which will cause <code>setBar(23)</code> to be called before
    the new bean is returned.  Because we are not initializing the
    <code>foo</code> property (although we could have), the bean will
    contain whatever default value is set up by its constructor.</p>

  <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#828DA6"><font face="arial,helvetica.sanserif" color="#ffffff"><a name="JavaMail Sessions"><strong>JavaMail Sessions</strong></a></font></td></tr><tr><td><blockquote>

    <h3>0.  Introduction</h3>

    <p>In many web applications, sending electronic mail messages is a
    required part of the system's functionality.  The
    <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javamail">Java Mail</a> API
    makes this process relatively straightforward, but requires many
    configuration details that the client application must be aware of
    (including the name of the SMTP host to be used for message sending).</p>

    <p>Tomcat 6 includes a standard resource factory that will create
    <code>javax.mail.Session</code> session instances for you, already
    configured to connect to an SMTP server.
    In this way, the application is totally insulated from changes in the
    email server configuration environment - it simply asks for, and receives,
    a preconfigured session whenever needed.</p>

    <p>The steps required for this are outlined below.</p>

    <h3>1.  Declare Your Resource Requirements</h3>

    <p>The first thing you should do is modify the web application deployment
    descriptor (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>) to declare the JNDI name under
    which you will look up preconfigured sessions.  By convention, all such
    names should resolve to the <code>mail</code> subcontext (relative to the
    standard <code>java:comp/env</code> naming context that is the root of
    all provided resource factories.  A typical <code>web.xml</code> entry
    might look like this:</p>
<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>

    <h3>2.  Code Your Application's Use Of This Resource</h3>

    <p>A typical use of this resource reference might look like this:</p>
<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>

    <p>Note that the application uses the same resource reference name
    that was declared in the web application deployment descriptor.  This
    is matched up against the resource factory that is configured in the
    <a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element
    for the web application as described below.</p>

    <h3>3.  Configure Tomcat's Resource Factory</h3>

    <p>To configure Tomcat's resource factory, add an elements like this to the
    <a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element for
    this web application.</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>

    <p>Note that the resource name (here, <code>mail/Session</code>) must
    match the value specified in the web application deployment descriptor.
    Customize the value of the <code>mail.smtp.host</code> parameter to
    point at the server that provides SMTP service for your network.</p>

    <h3>4.  Install the JavaMail libraries</h3>

    <p><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.html">
    Download the JavaMail API</a>.  The JavaMail API requires the Java Activation
    Framework (JAF) API as well.  The Java Activation Framework can be downloaded
    from <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html">Sun's site</a>.
    </p>

    <p>This download includes 2 vital libraries for the configuration; 
    activation.jar and mail.jar. Unpackage both distributions and place 
    them into $CATALINA_HOME/lib so that they are available to
    Tomcat during the initialization of the mail Session Resource.
    <strong>Note:</strong> placing these jars in both $CATALINA_HOME/lib and a 
    web application's lib folder will cause an error, so ensure you have
    them in the $CATALINA_HOME/lib location only.
    </p>

    <h3>Example Application</h3>

    <p>The <code>/examples</code> application included with Tomcat contains
    an example of utilizing this resource factory.  It is accessed via the
    "JSP Examples" link.  The source code for the servlet that actually
    sends the mail message is in
    <code>/WEB-INF/classes/SendMailServlet.java</code>.</p>

    <p><strong>WARNING</strong> - The default configuration assumes that there
    is an SMTP server listing on port 25 on <code>localhost</code>. If this is
    not the case, edit the
    <a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element for
    this web application and modify the parameter value for the
    <code>mail.smtp.host</code> parameter to be the host name of an SMTP server
    on your network.</p>

    <h3>0.  Introduction</h3>

    <p>Many web applications need to access a database via a JDBC driver,
    to support the functionality required by that application.  The J2EE
    Platform Specification requires J2EE Application Servers to make
    available a <em>DataSource</em> implementation (that is, a connection
    pool for JDBC connections) for this purpose.  Tomcat 6 offers exactly
    the same support, so that database-based applications you develop on
    Tomcat using this service will run unchanged on any J2EE server.</p>

    <p>For information about JDBC, you should consult the following:</p>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/">http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/</a> -
        Home page for information about Java Database Connectivity.</li>
    <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/spec2/jdbc2.1.frame.html">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/spec2/jdbc2.1.frame.html</a> -
        The JDBC 2.1 API Specification.</li>
    <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/jdbc20.stdext.pdf">http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/jdbc20.stdext.pdf</a> -
        The JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API (including the
        <code>javax.sql.DataSource</code> API).  This package is now known
        as the "JDBC Optional Package".</li>
    <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html">http://java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html</a> -
        The J2EE Platform Specification (covers the JDBC facilities that
        all J2EE platforms must provide to applications).</li>
    </ul>

    <p><strong>NOTE</strong> - The default data source support in Tomcat
    is based on the <strong>DBCP</strong> connection pool from the
    <a href="http://commons.apache.org/">Commons</a>
    project.  However, it is possible to use any other connection pool
    that implements <code>javax.sql.DataSource</code>, by writing your
    own custom resource factory, as described
    <a href="#Adding Custom Resource Factories">below</a>.</p>

    <h3>1.  Install Your JDBC Driver</h3>

    <p>Use of the <em>JDBC Data Sources</em> JNDI Resource Factory requires
    that you make an appropriate JDBC driver available to both Tomcat internal
    classes and to your web application.  This is most easily accomplished by
    installing the driver's JAR file(s) into the
    <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code> directory, which makes the driver
    available both to the resource factory and to your application.</p>

    <h3>2.  Declare Your Resource Requirements</h3>

    <p>Next, modify the web application deployment descriptor
    (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>) to declare the JNDI name under
    which you will look up preconfigured data source.  By convention, all such
    names should resolve to the <code>jdbc</code> subcontext (relative to the
    standard <code>java:comp/env</code> naming context that is the root of
    all provided resource factories.  A typical <code>web.xml</code> entry
    might look like this:</p>
<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>

    <h3>4.  Configure Tomcat's Resource Factory</h3>

    <p>To configure Tomcat's resource factory, add an element like this to the

    <p>This example assumes that you are using the HypersonicSQL database
    JDBC driver.  Customize the <code>driverClassName</code> and
    <code>driverName</code> parameters to match your actual database's
    JDBC driver and connection URL.</p>

    <p>The configuration properties for Tomcat's standard data source
    resource factory
    (<code>org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</code>) are
    as follows:</p>
    <ul>
    <li><strong>driverClassName</strong> - Fully qualified Java class name
        of the JDBC driver to be used.</li>
    <li><strong>maxActive</strong> - The maximum number of active instances
        that can be allocated from this pool at the same time.</li>
    <li><strong>maxIdle</strong> - The maximum number of connections that
        can sit idle in this pool at the same time.</li>
    <li><strong>maxWait</strong> - The maximum number of milliseconds that the
        pool will wait (when there are no available connections) for a
        connection to be returned before throwing an exception.</li>
    <li><strong>password</strong> - Database password to be passed to our
        JDBC driver.</li>
    <li><strong>url</strong> - Connection URL to be passed to our JDBC driver.
        (For backwards compatibility, the property <code>driverName</code>
        is also recognized.)</li>
    <li><strong>username</strong> - Database username to be passed to our
        JDBC driver.</li>
    <li><strong>validationQuery</strong> - SQL query that can be used by the
        pool to validate connections before they are returned to the
        application.  If specified, this query MUST be an SQL SELECT
        statement that returns at least one row.</li>

  <p>If none of the standard resource factories meet your needs, you can write
  your own factory and integrate it into Tomcat 6, and then configure the use
  of this factory in the
  <a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element for
  the web application. In the example below, we will create a factory that only
  knows how to create <code>com.mycompany.MyBean</code> beans from the
  <a href="#Generic JavaBean Resources">Generic JavaBean Resources</a> example
  above.</p>

  <h3>1.  Write A Resource Factory Class</h3>

  <p>You must write a class that implements the JNDI service provider
  <code>javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory</code> inteface.  Every time your
  web application calls <code>lookup()</code> on a context entry that is
  bound to this factory, the <code>getObjectInstance()</code> method is
  called, with the following arguments:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><strong>Object obj</strong> - The (possibly null) object containing
      location or reference information that can be used in creating an object.
      For Tomcat, this will always be an object of type
      <code>javax.naming.Reference</code>, which contains the class name of
      this factory class, as well as the configuration properties (from the
      <a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> for the
      web application) to use in creating objects to be returned.</li>
  <li><strong>Name name</strong> - The name to which this factory is bound
      relative to <code>nameCtx</code>, or <code>null</code> if no name
      is specified.</li>
  <li><strong>Context nameCtx</strong> - The context relative to which the
      <code>name</code> parameter is specified, or <code>null</code> if
      <code>name</code> is relative to the default initial context.</li>
  <li><strong>Hashtable environment</strong> - The (possibly null)
      environment that is used in creating this object.  This is generally
      ignored in Tomcat object factories.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>To create a resource factory that knows how to produce <code>MyBean</code>
  instances, you might create a class like this:</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>

import javax.naming.Name;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.naming.RefAddr;
import javax.naming.Reference;
import javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory;

public class MyBeanFactory implements ObjectFactory {

  public Object getObjectInstance(Object obj,
      Name name, Context nameCtx, Hashtable environment)
      throws NamingException {

      // Acquire an instance of our specified bean class
      MyBean bean = new MyBean();

      // Customize the bean properties from our attributes
      Reference ref = (Reference) obj;
      Enumeration addrs = ref.getAll();
      while (addrs.hasMoreElements()) {
          RefAddr addr = (RefAddr) addrs.nextElement();
          String name = addr.getType();
          String value = (String) addr.getContent();
          if (name.equals("foo")) {
              bean.setFoo(value);
          } else if (name.equals("bar")) {
              try {
                  bean.setBar(Integer.parseInt(value));
              } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                  throw new NamingException("Invalid 'bar' value " + value);
              }
          }
      }

      // Return the customized instance
      return (bean);

  }

}
</pre></td><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr></table></div>

  <p>In this example, we are unconditionally creating a new instance of
  the <code>com.mycompany.MyBean</code> class, and populating its properties
  based on the parameters included in the <code>&lt;ResourceParams&gt;</code>
  element that configures this factory (see below).  You should note that any
  parameter named <code>factory</code> should be skipped - that parameter is
  used to specify the name of the factory class itself (in this case,
  <code>com.mycompany.MyBeanFactory</code>) rather than a property of the
  bean being configured.</p>

  <p>For more information about <code>ObjectFactory</code>, see the
  <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/docs.html">JNDI 1.2 Service
  Provider Interface (SPI) Specification</a>.</p>

  <p>You will need to compile this class against a class path that includes
  all of the JAR files in the <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code> directory.  When you are through,
  place the factory class (and the corresponding bean class) unpacked under
  <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code>, or in a JAR file inside
  <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code>.  In this way, the required class
  files are visible to both Catalina internal resources and your web
  application.</p>

  <h3>2.  Declare Your Resource Requirements</h3>

  <p>Next, modify your web application deployment descriptor
  (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>) to declare the JNDI name under which
  you will request new instances of this bean.  The simplest approach is
  to use a <code>&lt;resource-env-ref&gt;</code> element, like this:</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>
&lt;resource-env-ref&gt;
  &lt;description&gt;
    Object factory for MyBean instances.
  &lt;/description&gt;
  &lt;resource-env-ref-name&gt;
    bean/MyBeanFactory
  &lt;/resource-env-ref-name&gt;
  &lt;resource-env-ref-type&gt;

  <h3>3.  Code Your Application's Use Of This Resource</h3>

  <p>A typical use of this resource environment reference might look
  like this:</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
MyBean bean = (MyBean) envCtx.lookup("bean/MyBeanFactory");

writer.println("foo = " + bean.getFoo() + ", bar = " +
               bean.getBar());
</pre></td><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr></table></div>

    <h3>4.  Configure Tomcat's Resource Factory</h3>

    <p>To configure Tomcat's resource factory, add an elements like this to the
    <a href="config/context.html"><code>&lt;Context&gt;</code></a> element for
    this web application.</p>

<div align="left"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#ffffff"><pre>
&lt;Context ...&gt;
  ...
  &lt;Resource name="bean/MyBeanFactory" auth="Container"
            type="com.mycompany.MyBean"
            factory="com.mycompany.MyBeanFactory"
            bar="23"/&gt;
  ...
&lt;/Context&gt;
</pre></td><td width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr><tr><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td><td height="1" width="1" bgcolor="#023264"><img border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" height="1" width="1" src="./images/void.gif"></td></tr></table></div>

    <p>Note that the resource name (here, <code>bean/MyBeanFactory</code>
    must match the value specified in the web application deployment
    descriptor.  We are also initializing the value of the <code>bar</code>
    property, which will cause <code>setBar(23)</code> to be called before
    the new bean is returned.  Because we are not initializing the
    <code>foo</code> property (although we could have), the bean will
    contain whatever default value is set up by its constructor.</p>

    <p>You will also note that, from the application developer's perspective,
    the declaration of the resource environment reference, and the programming
    used to request new instances, is identical to the approach used for the
    <em>Generic JavaBean Resources</em> example.  This illustrates one of the
    advantages of using JNDI resources to encapsulate functionality - you can
    change the underlying implementation without necessarily having to
    modify applications using the resources, as long as you maintain
    compatible APIs.</p>
