Hi all, I've a question about how to configure a datasource to be accessed via JNDI.
I have a datasource configured in server.xml (In Server/GlobalNamingResources/Resource). In the documentation http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html#Resource_Definitions it says that that a resource/datasource can be declared in the context element of a webapp like this: <Context ...> ... <Resource name="jdbc/EmployeeDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" description="Employees Database for HR Applications"/> ... </Context> Also it is written that it is possible to declare a resource inside web.xml: <resource-ref> <description>Employees Database for HR Applications</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/EmployeeDB</res-ref-name> <res-ref-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-ref-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> My question is: 1) is it enough to declare the needed resource inside web.xml or 2) do I have to declare it also in the context element for accessing it via JNDI? And, if 2) is correct what is the use to declare a resouce in the webapps web.xml when it has been already declared in the context element of the webapp?
