you can enter a documentation change to correct either
1)duplicate behaviour of ApplicationContext.xml <Resource> by web.xml
<resource-ref>
2)or make the documentation a bit clearer on what is required and what is
optional
the doc states:
You CAN declare the characteristics of the resource
to be returned for JNDI lookups of <resource-ref> and
<resource-env-ref> elements in the web application
deployment descriptor.
mg>interpreted as web.xml <resource-ref> is optional, <resource-env-ref> is
optional
You MUST also define
the needed resource parameters as attributes of the Resource
element, to configure the object factory to be used (if not known to Tomcat
already), and the properties used to configure that object factory.
mg>i interpret this as <Context><Resource> parameter is mandatory
