Thanks for the prompt.. I have been looking at the doc s and have my .jar file for postgres in the lib folder.
I do not understand where the <Context> <Resource name="jdbc/postgres..." Is supposed to go. Im reading at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html This author has not had success here... This doesn't inspire confidence here, but that's what the documentation shows...
