Hi, >What I cannot figure out is: what does the 'resource-ref' element in the >deployment descriptor *actually* do?
It allows the container to map your portable descriptor in web.xml to its specific instance in the container (which is defined in server.xml). So resource-ref is the same for your app in your dev, test, and production environments, on tomcat, weblogic, websphere, etc. But the container-specific configuration elements change. It's a way to map container-specific resources in a portable and consistent manner. See also env-entry-ref...
