Chris, the documentation
http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html

explicitly says... have a look at postgres example, that file should have same name as the war, or the app.... maybe it can be put into context.xml, but are you sure?

The /deployed/ XML file can be placed in

 tomcat/<service>/<host>/<appname>.xml

or

 tomcat/Catalina/localhost/mrs.xml

Chris was indicating that you put a 'META-INF/context.xml' in your war or webapp directory - which Tomcat will then deploy to the named file above. The deployed file may be removed or replaced during restarts, and overwritten by the one in your webapp.

I appreciate all the input guys.  I put everything into server.xml and
the application is working great.

You should put that setup into META-INF/context.xml in your webapp
directory (or your WAR file) instead of into server.xml. This is likely
to fix your problem.

So, my question is, I was trying to set it up so that my developers
could just deploy/undeploy/stop/start their apps all through the web,
w/out needing shell access to the server.  Is there a way for them to
restart the Tomcat service through a web interface?

Restart the entire Tomcat service? I don't think Tomcat includes this
capability. You'd have to write your own, separate utility app that can
take down and restart Tomcat.

Is it normal that they should have to restart the entire Tomcat service
for their app to be able to talk to the configured database connections
in server.xml?

No, it's not. Configuring those connections in context.xml will
certainly alleviate this problem.
