If you're using 5.5, why are you spending any time looking at the 4.1
documentation? Try using the correct doc for the level you have:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.h

You left this bit out
... it's not a criticism before anyone gets upset
I'd be glad to contribute to the documentation, just gotta figure out
how, guess I'll have to RTFM.

Then do something constructive about it. You are part of the Tomcat
community and the documentation is as much your responsibility as
anyone else here. If you find a problem, report it. Better yet,
suggest an alternative wording that improves the documentation or
ideally, provide a patch.

This has been now fixed in the docs 5.5.x and 6.0.x and will be in the
next release of each.

Indeed. Simply swapping the Context given in
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html,
in for the Context given in
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
makes the 4.1 example work. This way makes it clear what has changed.
Thanks very much.

Hi
How confused do you want to be ....
I started looking at the 4.1 docs as well ... it'll never work
I do object to having to download taglibs just to get a simple example
working so you can keep all the code from the 4.1 example including
the web.xml entry
All you really need to change is the server.xml configuration as described in
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html,
at least this is what I did and the example seems to work OK.
One thing that constantly frustrates me is the apparent ambiguities in
the documentation (it's not a criticism before anyone gets upset) the
docs state
'Add this in between the </Context> tag of the examples context and
the </Host> tag closing the localhost definition'
Well there isn't a Context tag in my distro so I just invented one and
it works, of course we are always being advised to put our <Context>
thing in our web apps these days so that's what I'm going to try next.
Good Luck
Chers
