I am considering shared hosting ( using JSP/Tomcat.MYSQL)and I dont know how I will be able to host it, if I use connection polling, As on standalone I have complete control over Server.xml file Thanks a lot.

You should have driver for MySQL, JDBC for example: Connection string can look: con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///test", "root", "secret"); If PHP, than should works with mysql_connect function. Check manual for PHP. However Tomcat as web server for eZ publish is not supported. And, your question is not related to eZ publish, and supported by eZp technology.

In a shared-hosting environment, where I do not have consle access to the server

How Do I
- Put my database connection string (which includes a MYSQ DB name/password pair)

- Do I get to configure server.xml( Tomcat), if not then is there an alternative where I can use Tomcat Data Source/Connection Pooling?

I am considering shared hosting ( using JSP/Tomcat.MYSQL)and I dont know how I will be able to host it, if I use connection polling, As on standalone I have complete control over Server.xml file

Thanks a lot.

Ashish, you did not provide information which language/technology you use. If Java, then read doc about working with databases. You should have driver for MySQL, JDBC for example:

Connection string can look:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///test", "root", "secret");

If PHP, than should works with mysql_connect function. Check manual for PHP. However Tomcat as web server for eZ publish is not supported.

And, your question is not related to eZ publish, and supported by eZp technology.
