Servlet .jar Dependency Null Pointer

Baserat på Luiggis input om att inte skapa datakällan manuellt i en klass och rekommendation att använda JNDI-databaspooling, kunde jag få lösningen nedan att fungera. Min anpassning är starkt baserad på denna länk:http://www.codejava.net/servers/tomcat/ configuring-jndi-datasource-for-database-connection-pooling-in-tomcat

Bitar:Tomcat 8.0, postgresql-jdbc drivrutin, DBEngine bean, servlet

dbEngine-bönan består av tre klasser:DBEngine.java, Pool.java och SQLPS.java (ett SQL-satsbibliotek) som alla lindas in i en jar-fil och importeras till servleten och markeras som ett exportberoende för klassvägar.

Servletten som anropar bönan ser ut så här:

 package com.engine.main;

 import java.io.IOException;
 import java.io.PrintWriter;
 import java.sql.SQLException;
 import java.util.ArrayList;
 import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap;
 import javax.naming.InitialContext;
 import javax.naming.NamingException;
 import javax.servlet.AsyncContext;
 import javax.servlet.AsyncEvent;
 import javax.servlet.AsyncListener;
 import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
 import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
 import javax.servlet.ServletException;
 import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
 import sslog4java.LogLevel;
 import sslog4java.Logger;
 import com.google.gson.Gson;
 import com.DBbean.DBEngine;

 @WebServlet("/PrimaryEngine")
 public class PrimaryEngine extends HttpServlet {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
      private DBEngine db = null;

      private static String filePath = "";
      private static String fileName = "";
      Logger fLogger = null;

      public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException{
           super.init(config);
           ServletContext scxt = config.getServletContext();
           filePath = scxt.getRealPath("/WEB-INF") + "\\logs\\";
           fileName = "loggerFileName";
           fLogger = new Logger(filePath, fileName, LogLevel.DEBUG);
           try {
                // passed the servlet context into the DBengine for the pool to use
                db = new DBEngine(new InitialContext(), fLogger);
           } catch (SQLException | NamingException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
           }
      }

      protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
           PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
           if(request.getParameterMap().containsKey("param") && request.getParameter("param").equals("paramValue")){
                test = db.DBdebug();
                out.println(test);
                return;
           }
      }
      protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
           doGet(request, response);
      }
 }

dbEngine.java ser ut så här:

 package com.DBbean;

 import java.io.IOException;
 import java.io.PrintWriter;
 import java.io.StringWriter;
 import java.sql.Connection;
 import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
 import java.sql.ResultSet;
 import java.sql.SQLException;
 import java.util.ArrayList;
 import java.util.Map;
 import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap;
 import javax.naming.Context;
 import sslog4java.Logger;
 import com.google.common.collect.MapMaker;

 public class DBEngine {

      private Pool pool = null;
      private Connection con = null;
      private Logger fLogger;

      public DBEngine(Context initCtx, Logger logr) throws SQLException{
           this.fLogger = logr;
           // passed the servlet context into the Pool.java
           this.pool = new Pool(initCtx);
           this.con = pool.getConnection();
      }

      public String DBdebug(){

           Connection conn = pool.getConnection();

           try {
                String ps = SQLPS.debugSQL;
                PreparedStatement ps2 = conn.prepareStatement(ps);
                ResultSet rs = ps2.executeQuery();

                if(rs.next()){
                     return "Success";
                } else return "Fail";

           } catch (SQLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
           }

           return null;
      }
 }

och Pool.java ser ut så här:

 package com.DBbean;

 import java.sql.Connection;
 import java.sql.SQLException;
 import javax.naming.Context;
 import javax.naming.NamingException;
 import javax.sql.DataSource;

 public class Pool {

      Context ctx;

      public Pool(Context context){
           ctx = context;
      }


     public Connection getConnection() {

           try {
                DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/postgres4" );
                return ds.getConnection();
           } catch (SQLException | NamingException sne) {
                sne.printStackTrace();
                return null;
           }
     }
 }

Jag var tvungen att lägga till dessa rader i $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml:

<Resource
name="jdbc/postgres4"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="8"
maxIdle="8"
driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
url="*URL*"
username="*UserName*"
password="*Password*"
/>

och dessa rader till $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml:

<resource-ref>
<description>postgreSQL Datasource</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/postgres4</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

och postgresql-jdbc-burken gick in i $CATALINA_HOME/lib
