Thank you all for your help. I now have DataSourceRealm based authentication up and running with my connection pool.
One thing I want to mention is that I was unable to make teh scenarios described in the wiki work until I duplicated the Resource definition in both server.xml and in context.xml. I tried several combinations as described in the wiki and outside and this is the one that worked, for now this is what matters to me. Thanks....
