In my context.xml, I use type="javax.sql.DataSource", and I'm using a
<Resource> element instead of <Environment>
<Resource
name="configName"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="username"
password="password"
driverClassName="whatever driver you have"
url="your jdbc driver connection stuff"/>

<res-auth>Container</res-auth>

My version of this code, with your name:
private DataSource ds;
public void createDataSource(){
// Setup the DataSource Context
try{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/configName");
} catch (NamingException ex){
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().log("DataSource lookup
failed", ex);
}
}
