Hi Geert, & firstly many thanks for your comments - much appreciated. After posting I thought my description may be a little vague...
To clarify, by dynamic I need to be able to read from the database (I originally connect with an external manual single connection) to read the available environments and I then need to provide as many datasources/connection pools as needed. These datasources need to be available to both Tomcat (i.e. normal java classes) and Cocoon (xsp & esql). I'm very interested in your Oracle solution (reverse engineering and all that) while struggling to understand JNDI under both Tomcat & Cocoon (these two are lovers and I don't want to separate them by going OC4J) Any keywords for Google or code samples are more than welcome in my pursuit to get this working... Again thanks in advance.

Errr, how dynamic is dynamic? I have worked on an implementation that uses JNDI internally and configures datasources in the webapp server (Oracle in this case.. :-P) In Oracle webserver you have the opportunity to define datasources on a maintenance webinterface. I'm not sure you can do that with Tomcat. What we more or less did in Tomcat for testing is define a Resource (with Params) and pointed to it with a ResourceLink in Host/Context. web.xml contains a resource-ref as well and some env-entry elements with additional information... By the way: the database management doesn't hook into any of the Cocoon's objects/lifecycle management parts in this case. It could have, but configuration would have been totally different, I guess..
