Then I would point you to
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
and
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
for some excellent information on setting up this stuff. I don't think
you have to spec a resource factory as the built-in one for datasources
is a slightly refactored (package rename only) version of DBCP. Also,
the JDBC driver needs to be stored in common/lib of the tomcat
installation. Lastly, unless you are directly using the commons-dbcp
package or the commons-pool package in your code, the
commons-dbcp-xx.xx.jar and commons-pool.jar are not necessary in WEB-INF.

Before we can offer any relevant advice, please let us know which
version of tomcat you are working with. There are configuration
differences between 5.0.x and 5.5.x.

Please can someone advise me what I need to configure? I get no
