Thanx for the feedback. I'll give it a try and post any interesting results.
As to which docs to start with, I pretty much always start with the
official and then to sites that provide additional info based on the
official. I usually don't wander unless I'm not getting anywhere, as was
the case this time.
Again, thanx for the quick reply.

Sorry...
Actually, I suspect that the subject line *is* pretty accurate :-).
* As an off topic comment, I would generally start with the official
documentation
on a feature before going to the wiki. In this case, check out
<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html>,
in particular the section on JDBC data sources.
* I have seen on a variety of forums where people have had problems
in Tomcat 5.5.20 with JNDI configurations that worked fine on Tomcat
5.5.17.
This implies some issue with Tomcat, which means you would likely be
better off addressing this to the Tomcat Users mailing list. But in the
mean
time, you might try back-reving your Tomcat install and see if that
helps.
