So, what does it take to register a JDBC driver for a connection pool?

[Michael Nicholson]

Or is that even necessary?  (I would think it is...).  I've been trying to get the 
DBCP-commons going for a while, and finally got it to find the correct resource 
reference, but it still returns a null datasource.  So I started changing things in 
the server.xml to find out what doesn't cause my result to change, with the idea that 
maybe that's where my error is.  So I can change my driverClassName to anything and 
get the exact same result, so my current theory is that this is where the problem is.  
My partial server.xml file is below:

<Resource name="jdbc/myoracle" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" /> 

          <ResourceParams name="jdbc/myoracle">
            <parameter>
              <name>driverClassName</name>
              <value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>driverName</name>
              <value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@oraclehost.com:1521:ORDB</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>username</name>
              <value>wahwah</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>password</name>
              <value>joebillybob</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>maxActive</name>
              <value>20</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>maxIdle</name>
              <value>10</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>maxWait</name>
              <value>-1</value>
            </parameter>
          </ResourceParams>
