I wonder if Tomcat/IDE integration info would be appropriate for this page. Specifically, I recently worked through an issue with IntelliJ's handling of a local Tomcat installation. In short, IntelliJ ignores the META-INF/context.xml file when starting Tomcat. To access a jndi datasource, you must repeat the configuration in separate file named "yourAppName.xml" that is placed inside the server's /Catalina/localhost/ folder, then specify this Context in IntelliJ's deploy dialog. Failure to do so results in a naming exception.

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.
