As the documentation for DataSourceRealm states, you may place the <Resource> inside the <Context> element, as long as you set the localDataSource attribute for the <Realm> to "true". > Do I still need that <Resource element above to be defined somewhere, Yes - the <Realm> needs to use it. > <resource-ref> > <description>DB Connection</description> > <res-ref-name>jdbc/trailsDB</res-ref-name> > <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> > <res-auth>Container</res-auth> > </resource-ref> The <resource-ref> shouldn't be used, since it's the <Realm> that needs the JDBC connection, not your webapp. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
