RE:

Your URL is wrong. You have:

jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432

You missed out the database name. The url should read:

jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb where mydb is the database
name.

PS: As its localhost, you can abbreviate this to:

jdbc:postgresql:mydb

Hello I find yours email from the mailing list of postgresql.

I have a problem with postgres driver and servlet

I´m using Suse 6.4, jakarta-tomcat servlet, and jdk1.1.8.

I set the correct CLASSPATH in the file wrapper.property

# CLASSPATH environment
wrapper.classpath=/usr/lib/jdk1.1.8/postresql.jar

I edit the server.xml file and add this lines

<RequestInterceptor
className="org.apache.tomcat.request.JDBCRealm"
debug="99"
driverName="org.postgresql.Driver"
connectionURL="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432"
connectionName="postgres"
connectionPassword="postgres" />

But when I want to run Tomcat I have a fatal error:

FATAL:java.lang.RuntimeException: JDBCRealm.start.readXml: Something unusual
has occured to cause the driver to fail. Please report this exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
