Hey, I think though I'm not 100%.... When you declare the datasource in web.xml (or is Server.xml?) it creates a pool factory for you under the covers (I think using Jakarta DBCP). When you use JNDI look-up it asks the factory for a pool. You are then magically using a pool. You specify the pool details in the declaration in web.xml.
