The J2EE tutorial is one place that talks about the context naming
scheme:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/Resources2.html
And just to be 100% sure, my example below actually has a minor
cut-and-paste error--there's a space after TimesheetsDB in the second
lookup(). If you simply cut-and-pasted my example, and it turns out
that the string has to be an exact match, then this could be an issue.
Probably not, but worth mentioning, just in case.

Jay,
Context initialContext = new InitialContext();
Context envContext = (Context) initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env");
this.dataSource = (DataSource) envContext.lookup("jdbc/TimesheetsDB
");
Ah ha! I was missing the second step. When I added the second step, it
still fails, but the complaint has changed. Slightly.
"At org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:814)
there occurred a
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name TimesheetsDB is not bound
in this Context"
So now it can find "jdbc", but not "TimesheetsDB".
By the way, what does the "java:comp/env" argument mean?
