Chris didn't mention anything about realms in his initial message. What I interpreted his posting to mean was he wanted container-managed connection pooling (and all other JNDI-based resource usage) done without placing any classes in any global directory space. In other words, the Tomcat classes would use the webapp's classloader first before looking in any global locations for necessary driver libraries. This might require having the webapp classloader get its own copies of the Tomcat classes, but it sounds doable with a bit of re-plumbing. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
