Rest assured, I am a novice egg-sucker. At least now I know that the dialect isn't something I need to worry about.

 

I figured out the problem. The 'value' here

 

    <connectionSource class="ch.qos.logback.core.db.JNDIConnectionSource">

      <param name="jndiLocation" value="jdbc/MyDatabase" />

    </connectionSource>

 

needs to be

 

    java:comp/env/jdbc/MyDatabase

 

I don't remember if that's a Tomcat thing or a JTDS thing or some other thing entirely, but some widget I'm using says that if you define a datasource as 'jdbc/FOO', it needs to be referenced as 'java:comp/env/jdbc/FOO'.

 

Sorry for the spam!

 

Eric

It looks to me that something odd is going on. I assume you're connecting to the same database in the end, but the DB Appender relies on either

(a) the JDBC driver supporting the getGeneratedKeys() method, *or*

(b) the JDBC driver one of those listed at http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#DBAppender so the record that was inserted can be retrieved using a DB specific statement. You can't specify the dialect - it's detected from the driver class.

[Apologies if the above is teaching you to scuk eggs]

 

Now, there's no dialect for JTDS, so you have to rely on the

getGeneratedKeys() method. What I don't understand is why it works with DriverManagerConnectionSource but not JNDIConnectionSource.

 

This doesn't help; I started writing a more helpful email, but by the time I finished I realised what I'd started saying was wrong!

Apologies,

 

Greg
