You left this bit out ... it's not a criticism before anyone gets upset I'd be glad to contribute to the documentation, just gotta figure out how, guess I'll have to RTFM.

Hi How confused do you want to be I started looking at the 4.1 docs as well ... it'll never work I do object to having to download taglibs just to get a simple example working so you can keep all the code from the 4.1 example including the web.xml entry All you really need to change is the server.xml configuration as described in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html, at least this is what I did and the example seems to work OK. One thing that constantly frustrates me is the apparent ambiguities in the documentation (it's not a criticism before anyone gets upset) the docs state 'Add this in between the /Context tag of the examples context and the /Host tag closing the localhost definition' Well there isn't a Context tag in my distro so I just invented one and it works, of course we are always being advised to put our Context thing in our web apps these days so that's what I'm going to try next.

Re: DataSources and Tomcat (continue thread: Re: How to use connectionpool with tomcat 1.2.9)
Indeed. Simply swapping the Context given in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html, in for the Context given in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html makes the 4.1 example work. This way makes it clear what has changed. Thanks very much.
