Hello Sven, you have to declare resource-ref in jboss-web.xml. The excerpt from jboss-web_3_0.dtd explains: <!--The resource-ref element maps from the servlet ENC relative name of the resource-ref to the deployment environment JNDI name of the resource manager connection factory. Example: <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>jdbc/TheDataSource</res-ref-name> <jndi-name>java:/DefaultDS</jndi-name> </resource-ref> --> The same is right for jboss-web.dtd.
