Hi, Check out the META-INF/context.xml method for configuring data sources for your web app.

I am running my own custom Spring-like container with an embedded version of Tomcat 5.5. I have my own JNDI Context object configured in my application that I bind objects to. However all those objects in that Context are not available to my web applications because Tomcat is using it's own Context: Context ctx = new InitialContext(); DataSource myDS = (DataSource) ctx.lookup( "java:/myDataSource" ); javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name myDataSource is not bound in this Context at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:769) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:152) at org.apache.naming.SelectorContext.lookup(SelectorContext.java:136) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:347) I am starting up my application as per this article: http://www.vsj.co.uk/articles/display.asp?id=319. All the documentation I've seen has been using the server.xml which is not available to me as I'm using the Embedded tomcat. If I can use server.xml with Embedded.java, please let me know.
