Interesting. I just tried this out, but I'm not having luck.
We load the context of the app from
$catalina_home/conf/Catalina/localhost/myApp.xml
I tried adding the Loader to my context so it looks like this. Am I doing

virtualClasspath="/web/lib;/web/lib/*.jar"/>
<Resource
factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory"
