You need to read [1]. You can use a <resource-ref> if all of the following are true: a) Tomcat is able to identify a suitable factory b) No further configuration is required. a) is true but not what you want. Tomcat will use the default. b) is not true. More information is required (URL, user, pwd, etc) Since a resource-ref is not suitable, you must define a resource-link to a global resource or the entire resource in the context.xml. The resource ref in web.xml is more a marker that a resource is required. It isn't usually sufficient to define the resource. > 4) do an a lookup for the data source Looks OK. > 5) Tomcat throws an exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: > org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory full stack trace > below.
