Yeah I like the idea of using the Resourcelink  in the context.xml and then 
keep the defining of that datasource in the 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.
