Datasource not found by Plugin on startup

[Faisal Mahmoud <fa...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
 I have written a plugin for a Struts app which accesses a DB connection via
a datasource. The datasource is defined in the Tomcat server.xml file, and
is loaded via a library we wrote. I know the datasource works fine because I
can access if from other classes in the app. But when I start up Tomcat, I
get the following exception thrown:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context
Is there something I need to do to make the DS available to my Plugin?

Mahmoud-

If your webapp is called foo, create a file 
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/foo.xml
You will need to match the exact name of the identified resource contained 
within foo.xml
<Resource name="jdbc/sampdb" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
later on you will reference
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
if(envCtx == null )
throw new Exception("Boom - No Environment Context");
// the following matches the resource name defined in foo.xml
DataSource ds =
(DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/sampdb");
