JNDI Datasource HOW-TO server.xml config example doesn't work

           Summary: JNDI Datasource HOW-TO server.xml config example doesn't
                    work
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.17
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Documentation
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


After reading and trying the JNDI Datasource HOW-TO and reading lots of posts on the 
tomcat-user 
mailing list, I was able to get things to work (in my case for postgres).  From the 
high number of posts 
on the tomcat-user mailing list it seems that amending the info in the HOW-TO would 
help.  Here is 
what I found.

In the HOW-TO for the server.xml configuration it tells you to configure your 
datasource as follows: 
"Add this in between the </Context> tag of the examples context and the </Host> tag 
closing the 
localhost definition."

Well this did not work for me, I could not get the datasource.  After reading posts on 
the tomcat-user 
mailing list, I put the datasource configuration information within the 
<GlobalNamingResources> 
section of server.xml. Under my web app context I put a ResourceLink that looks like 
this: 
<ResourceLink name="jdbc/TestDB" global="jdbc/TestDB" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

It worked.  I experienced the same thing with Tomcat 5.0.19
