Configuring Tomcat Server

This section describes how to configure a data source connection or a direct connection for your application in Tomcat Server by using the Delinea JDBC Proxy Driver. For detailed instructions on how to configure each type of connection, see the following topics:

Connection Types

Choose one of the following connection types based on your application requirements:

1. Direct Connection

Application connects using JDBC URL and driver class directly. No JNDI or server-managed datasource.

• Configuring a Direct Connection

2. Data Source Connection (Server-managed / JNDI)

Connection is created and pooled by the application server. Application looks up using JNDI name.

• Configuring a Data Source Connection

There are two types of data source connections:

• Non-XA DataSource - For standard single database transactions (most common use case)

  • Configuring Non-XA DataSource Connection

• XA DataSource - For distributed transactions involving multiple databases or JMS resources

  • Configuring XA DataSource Connection

Regardless of which connection type you choose, you must first:

1. Run the Setup Utility - This is required for all connection types. See Setup.
2. Choose your connection type - Direct, Non-XA DataSource, or XA DataSource
3. Follow the configuration steps for your chosen connection type.
