The JNDI connection mechanism in the exported webapp is designed to access
resources configured at the server level or at the application level via the
server.xml configuration file. Since the our exported applications are
archived into .war files, the per-application configuration in the
WEB-INF/web.xml approach is not applicable. The how-to located at:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
should be able to guide you to the correct location for your resource
definitions. This way your configuration will survive updates and can also
be shared across several applications if necessary.
