Compiling basicPortal with NetBeans 3.5 (i.e. Tomcat 4.0.6)?

I've had several problems getting bp to run under netbeans - although this
seems to be more of a Tomcat 4.0.6 (old stable release) issue - Vic can you
confirm that you've been able to run this under Tomcat 4.0.6, please - the
error thrown is shown at the end of this email.

Thanks,

Hue.

Also - thought I'd pass this on as this was better for me: For those who do
not want to add a container ds for testing and wish to use the ibatis
'SimpleDataSourceFactory' with just the connection details stored in the
local webapp... change the 'WEB-INF/Classes/properties/sql-map-config entry'
for the datasource, as follows:

(obviously need to update ##HOST##, ##DB##, ##USER## and ##PASSWORD## to the
correct values)

<datasource name = "ids"

factory-class="com.ibatis.db.sqlmap.datasource.SimpleDataSourceFactory"
            default = "true" >
    <property name="JDBC.Driver" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
    <property name="JDBC.ConnectionURL"
value="jdbc:postgresql://##HOST##:5432/##DB##?autoReconnect=true"/>
    <property name="JDBC.Username" value="##USER##"/>
    <property name="JDBC.Password" value="##PASSWORD##"/>
    <property name="Pool.MaximumActiveConnections" value="10"/>
    <property name="Pool.MaximumIdleConnections" value="5"/>
    <property name="Pool.MaximumCheckoutTime" value="120000"/>
    <property name="Pool.TimeToWait" value="10000"/>
    <property name="Pool.PingQuery" value="select * from dual"/>
    <property name="Pool.PingEnabled" value="false"/>
    <property name="Pool.PingConnectionsOlderThan" value="0"/>
    <property name="Pool.PingConnectionsNotUsedFor" value="0"/>
    <property name="Pool.QuietMode" value="true"/>
</datasource>
