Hi Mark,
The following is added in server.xml:
<GlobalNamingResources>
<!-- Editable user database that can also be used by
UserDatabaseRealm to authenticate users
-->
<Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
<Environment name="my/secret/password" value="JohnDoe"
type="java.lang.String"/>
</GlobalNamingResources>
And the following is added in context.xml:
<Environment name="my/local/test" value="local test" type="java.lang.String"
override="false"/>
<ResourceLink name="my/secret/password" global="my/secret/password"
type="java.lang.String" />
If I try to get "my/local/test", it works and I get "local test". But if I try
to get " my/secret/password", it returns NULL.
Regards,
Chinoy

You haven't defined a ResourceLink.
