When developing web applications that use J2EE DataSources to provide database connection pooling, I dislike having to jump through all the hoops that are typically necessary (i.e., set up the DataSource in the development web application server).
Recently, I discovered that it's possible with Tomcat 5.5 to define DataSource information in a configuration file that is part of the web application project itself. A great convenience. I've written up my findings here, since it took me some time searching the mailing list and perusing the documentation to figure it out.
