Issue

How can we configure a Tomcat datasource to use Teiid.

Resolution

The following example uses the Portfolio VDB from the "eds_multi_source_federation" quickstart example.

context.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/TomcatTeiidExample">
<Resource auth="Container" 
           driverClassName="org.teiid.jdbc.TeiidDriver" 
           maxActive="100" 
           maxIdle="30" 
           maxWait="10000" 
           name="jdbc/TestDB" 
           password="user" 
           type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
           url="jdbc:teiid:Portfolio@mm://localhost:31000" 
           username="user"/>
</Context>

web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>
            30
        </session-timeout>
    </session-config>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
      <resource-ref>
      <description>DB Connection</description>
      <res-ref-name>jdbc/TestDB</res-ref-name>
      <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
      <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
  </resource-ref>
</web-app>

jsp:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>



  <html>
  <head>

    <sql:query var="Stock" dataSource="jdbc/TestDB">
       select * from Stock
    </sql:query>

  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>JDBC JNDI Resource Test</h1>
    <table width='600' border='1'>

      <c:forEach var="Stock" items="${Stock.rows}">
        <tr>
           <td> ${Stock.symbol}</td>
           <td> ${Stock.price} </td>
        </tr>
      </c:forEach>
    </table>
  </body>
  </html>

You will also need to make sure that teiid-client.jar is in the classpath.
