Hi, Thanks for the "kind" feedback (this list can be a bit intimidating you know!). I did try to create the DS in the default context but had no joy - usual null ctx, no-helpful-info-in-the-logs kind of thing that seems to be standard for mucking about in this area ;-) But then I reasoned "Why should every deployed webapp be able to see 'my' resource? Shouldn't each one explicitly declare it's own Datasource?" Maybe, Maybe not. If you can give me a pointer to how to modify the server.xml then I'll add this case in.
So anyway, since no one else has -1'd me on this, I'm going to go ahead and do my write up this afternoon. Hopefully I'll have a patch for you guys tomorrow (if I can *ever* get my head around cvs diff :-) Bye, Les > -----Original Message----- > From: Pier Fumagalli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 24 June 2002 11:49 > To: Tomcat Developers List > Subject: Re: JNDI & DS Documentation Proposal > > > "Les Hughes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > We're all probably aware of the high amount of noise on tomcat-user > > regarding configuring datasources and jndi in TC 4.

Les, that is good... The only thing I can "nitpick" on (since it seems my task over here now! :) is that by putting the <Resource> inside the <Context>, your resource will only be visible to that particular context (in your case "DBTest"). If you could expand it, by also describing the case of a resource shared by more than one context, that would be great... Good addition...
