Chris,

I found I could use a ResourceLink element and put it in my context.xml file.
The name in that ResourceLink is the name of resource that I have fully defined 
in my server.xml.
Sot the context.xml points to the fully define resource which is in my 
server.xml

That's definitely a possibility as well.

I work on a small team and so separating the JDBC definition from the link doesn't make much sense so we don't do it. We also don't like polluting our server.xml file so everything goes into META-INF/context.xml.

You really should never change CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml, though.

So snippet from my context.xml file is.............

<Context    >

     <Resources allowLinking="true" />
<ResourceLink
                name="jdbc/app-pool"
                global="jdbc/app-pool"
               type="javax.sql.DataSource"   />


And snippet from my server.xml is.........

<Server port="18105" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
   <GlobalNamingResources>

     <Resource  name="jdbc/app-pool" auth="Container"
                       type="javax.sql.DataSource"  
driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
                       url="jdbc:postgresql://xxxxxxxxx"
                       username="xxxxx" password="xxxxxx"
                       maxTotal="30"  maxIdle="30" maxWaitMillis="-1"
                       removeAbandonedOnBorrow="true" 
removeAbandonedTimeout="90"
                       testOnBorrow="true"  validationQuery="select 1" 
validationQueryTimeout="30000"
                       testWhileIdle="true"  
timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="60000"
                       testOnReturn="true"  />

If have the resource defined in
CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml
And
CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml

It's definitely not a requirement to specify it in both places.

I can only log into my app if I have it defined in both my context.xml
and server.xml

Below  is my database resource   as defined in server.xml..........

I have xxx out postgres URL for security reasons

Which context.xml are you talking about? The one in CATALINA_BASE/context.xml 
or the one in your application's META-INF/context.xml?

Have you defined your <Context> in CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml, or are you 
using only META-INF/context.xml?
