Thanks, I'll do the reading. What got me thinking was that the tag requires four parts of information, with all four no reference to a JNDI source is needed. One would have expected something like:
<sql:dataSource resource="jdbc/EmployeeAppDb"/> and this would refer to: <Resource name="jdbc/EmployeeAppDb" auth="SERVLET" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/EmployeeAppDb"> ...... </ResourceParams> for tha app's context in server.xml. Then it would be very clear that the jstl dataSource was using the JNDI (managed) connection pool.
