Database Custom Field plugin DB configuration Context.xml creation

Ubisoft September 5, 2013

Installed the plugin on jira 5.1.8

in my Jira Home directory the \conf directory wasn't existing (normal?)

I created it and then created a file context.xml in it.

File content :

<Resource name="testDB"
      auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
      username="****"
      password="****"
      driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
      url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://MSR-UAT-DB01"
 />

I'm getting :

[commons.jira.kconfig.PluginConfiguration] Database JNDI >>testDB<< is not defined

in my catalina logs.

So I understand the conf/context.xml should go somewhere else I did not understood.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do not have to create the conf folder and the context.xml file. They should already be present in the Jira installation directory, as I mentioned above.

The conf directory should already exist in your Jira installation folder, next to atlassian-jira and bin folders.
