title: Reading tomcat server.xml in junit test case
body: <p>I am using java 7, and tomcat 7. I am writing few tests for my application in jUnit which uses tomcat/conf/server.xml for jndi. Here is the maven suggest folder structure.</p>
  
  <pre><code>src
  |___test
      |___java
      |       |___Testcase.java
      |___resources
              |___conf
                     |___server.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My sample server.xml would look like this,</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Resource name="jdbc/junit_db"
          type="javax.sql.DataSource"
          factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
          driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
          url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/junit_db?zeroDateTimeBehavior=round&amp;amp;autoReconnect=true&amp;amp;dumpQueriesOnException=true"
          username="root"
          password="password"
          maxIdle="0"
          minIdle="0"
          initialSize="1"
          maxWait="5000"
          maxActive="50"
          loginTimeout="1000"
          minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="2000"
          timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="5000"
          validationQuery="SELECT 1"
          testOnBorrow="true"
          testOnReturn="true"
          testWhileIdle="false"
          logAbandoned="true"
          removeAbandoned="true"
          poolPreparedStatements="true"
          maxOpenPreparedStatements="10000"
          accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed="false"
          defaultAutoCommit="false"
          defaultReadOnly="false"
          defaultTransactionIsolation="4"/&gt;
  
  &lt;Resource name="jdbc/junit_hive_db" 
              type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
              factory="com.office.hive.HiveDataSourceFactory" 
              driverClassName="org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver" 
              url="jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default?zeroDateTimeBehavior=round" 
              username="" 
              password="" /&gt;

  <p>I want to load this server.xml into the IntialContext before running jUnit test cases. How to achieve this?</p>
