I not think you can put the JNDI/Resource stuff in the deployment descriptor, though I stand to be corrected (!)
Well, get ready to start standing....
<resource-ref> <description>DB Connection</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/TestDB</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref>
That goes in your web.xml. Of course, you are right about the rest. You need to provide the configuration for the jdbc/TestDB Datasource....

AFAIK the JNDI/Resource stuff is placed within an application's 'Context' element.
With Tomcat 5 you can have separate context fragments - individual XML documents - for each application.
Context fragments are cool because you can update them without having to touch the server's configuration file (server.xml).
Context fragments reside in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/<host> directory where <host> is the name of the relevant host specified in server.xml. The default host setting is 'localhost'.
I hope that helps!
