RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Additional info:
Downloading and installing tomcat-dbcp.jar in /usr/share/tomcat6/lib fixed the problem

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-11-01 15:29:03 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 3 David G. Mackay 2011-11-08 14:15:09 UTC
The reason that I turned this in as a bug is that the dependency on tomcat-dbcp should be removed, in my opinion.  Installing tomcat-dbcp is a temporary fix.  If you're not going to include tomcat-dbcp.jar, then this IS a bug.

Comment 4 David Knox 2012-01-26 19:16:36 UTC
This is related to: rhbz 217630, 217141, & 669969. It is a configuration issue.

tomcat-jdbc.jar is a conglomeration of commons-collections,
commons-dbcp, and commons-pool.The tomcat build changes one bit of code to prohibit the use of collections::UnmodifiableList. It changes the package
name to o.a.t.dbcp.dbcp.*, compiles, and rejars into tomcat-jdbc. RHEL packaging for tomcat5 and tomcat6, as well as Fedora packaging, do not fire that target. The org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory (from commons-dbcp) is the same class as org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory (from tomcat-dbcp-dbcp).The dependencies (the Requires and BuildRequires) on commons-xxx-tomcat5 do not exist in the spec file. Nevertheless, Tomcat internals assume org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory as the default if the j2ee configuration of the DataSource.Factory does not exist.

Using the javax.sql.DataSource.Factory j2ee property to define the
BasicDataSourceFactory should fix the problem permenently. You don't need to use the factory attribute in your web.xml.

The configuration was introduced in tomcat6.conf for tomcat6-6.0.24-29.el6 and tomcat6-6.0.24-34.el6_1. /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf already contains:
JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Djavax.sql.DataSource.Factory=org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"

Since the current release contains the correct configuration, I'm closing this with CURRENTRELEASE
