Welcome to the community!

Nomenclature nit: that's "has 4 JNDI /resources/". JNDI itself is just
a directory interface where you stash stuff.

The only feedback you are going to get is (eventual) SQLExceptions.

Obviously, you can set up a validationQuery in the 2 MS SQL Server
resources by just adding an appropriate query (e.g. "SELECT 1 FROM
DUAL" or whatever is appropriate in MS SQL Server) to the <Resource>
attributes.

Were you hoping to get some other behavior than just what
validationQuery already provides?

FYI if you are using Tomcat's default connection pool, then you are
using Apache commons-dbcp, whose configuration guide can be found
here: http://commons.apache.org/dbcp/configuration.html

That will explain all the configuration attributes you can use (right
in the XML) and what they all do.
