Hi Eric, It took me a while to answer... but I never let an email unanswered! :-)
Basically the recommended solution is now to use Cargo (http://cargo.codehaus.org). However, the feature of configuring the JNDI datasource is not yet there in Cargo. I'll add a JIRA issue for it if someone wants to tackle it. Also, we'd like to support soon the ability to run on an existing installation so you'll be able to set it up exactly the way you wish.
