Tomcat 3.3 , JNDI, DataSource, Web.xml, Server.xml

[Jeovanny Mejia]

Does anyone know how to get a DataSource configured in the Server.xml file, 
reference it in the web.xml as a resource, and pull the DataSource using 
JNDI in an external application?

I am stumped.

AFAIK the JNDI resources stuff is not supported by Tomcat 3.3.  You should
still be able to use things like PoolMan within a webapp, configuring them
as described in the docs.

For 4.0 and 4.1, the appropriate docs are in the "tomcat-docs" webapp, and
also available online:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html

  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html

For 4.1, there are also some specific examples for data sources:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html

Craig is correct: Tomcat 3.3 is only a Servlet/JSP container.  It doesn't
add the JNDI resources stuff.  From some of the things going on in the
Tomcat development, this may change in the future, but I would doubt that it
would be before 3.3.3 (which is +2 from the current release).
