Hi Richard, I solved it on my own last week.
In my mind the solution was that I added a <resources></resources> around the content of the resources.xml. 1) I used Java 17 instead of Java 8. 2) I updated the org.apache.tomee:jakartaee-api and modfied the namespace code 3) I updated the maven-war-plugin mvn -e clean install tomee:run curl http://localhost:8080/jdbc-servlet/ JDBC Connection is valid @ timestamp = 1686141982875 => At the first glace the example result worked as expected. 4) I add more logging data to see that the correct driver is used mvn -e clean install tomee:run curl http://localhost:8080/jdbc-servlet/ Metadata at: SA Metadata at: HSQL Database Engine Driver Metadata at: 2.7.1 JDBC Connection is valid @ timestamp = 1686141982875 => To my surprise the code does not use Derby driver as I was expected. 5) I added the <resources> tag into the resources.xml. mvn -e clean install tomee:run curl http://localhost:8080/jdbc-servlet/ Metadata at: admin Metadata at: Apache Derby Embedded JDBC Driver Metadata at: 10.14.2.0 - (1828579) JDBC Connection is valid @ timestamp = 1686142146792 => Now the correct database was used. I published the modified code here: https://github.com/abstract-thinking/tomee-9-jdbc-configuration-example/ Take a look inside the commit history because I was a little be confused by my own what I have done last week and about the fact that after the third step the result looked fine.
