Thanks Gabe,
That seemed to solve the problem in the 'real' deployment.
Specifically, it seems that you must delete the old ROOT app. I did a rm
-Rf ROOT in webapps and then my jar deployed properly and created the
ROOT.xml file in conf/Catalina/localhost as required. Now seems to work
perfectly. I probably need to understand the deploy/undeploy process in
more detail.
Still doesn't work properly in Eclipse in that a project with a ROOT
context throws the naming exception. I suspect that is because of some
issue with Eclipse and project deployment. I may experiment further but
as long as it works in the proper deployment I don't really care.
Thanks again

Hi
I am using Eclipse 3.3, tomcat 6.0.14, linux and Java 1.5
I have a web app which uses a JNDI data source. I wrote a very simple
test servlet to access the data source and display some values from
the database. First time around I used a local application context in
/META-INF/context.xml. This worked fine. I then moved the Resource
definition to a GlobalNamingResource in server.xml and that worked
fine with a ResourceRef in context.xml.
All well and good. I then renamed the app to ROOT with a path '/'.
The servlet still responds and renders text correctly at
http://localhost:8080/ but I get a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException
regardless of whether the resource definition in context.xml or
GlobalNamingResource in server.xml and referenced in context.xml.
Needless to say the database content is no longer displayed.
As a further test I exported the the war files as ROOT.war and
deployed the war to a tomcat instance. It deployed OK but I still got
the naming exception. I then deployed the original (non-ROOT) test app
to the same server and that worked.
It seems that for some reason a ROOT app cannot access a JNDI
DataSource. Has anyone seen anything like this or has any explanation
The exception report starts;
Failed to create datasource

Hi Alan,
Is there a ./conf/Catalina/host/ROOT.xml?
