You can manage the pool yourself, but it's certainly easier if you let Tomcat do it. The doc is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html > 2.

You can define the data source in a <Context> file if you want it available only to one webapp, or as a <GlobalResource> if you want it available to all webapps. A <Context> element describes the Tomcat-specific configuration for a webapp; it is normally located within the webapp at META-INF/context.xml, or you can also put it at conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml if you want to keep it outside of the webapp's .war file or directory. (For compatibility with older Tomcat versions, you can also put it in conf/server.xml, but that's strongly discouraged these days.) Doc is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html Do not use the path of docBase attributes when using one of the standard location for your <Context> element and webapp. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
