Spring 3 jndi-lookup and Tomcat

In your spring configuration you may have something like:

<jee:jndi-lookup id="dataSource" jndi-name="java:comp/env/jdbc/facs"/>

Then in your webapp /META-INF/context.xml file you should have something similar too:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<!-- antiResourceLocking="true" -->
<Context path="/podd-apn"
         reloadable="true"
         cachingAllowed="false"
         antiResourceLocking="true"
         >


  <Resource name="jdbc/facs"              
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="${database.username}" password="${database.password}"
            driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" 
            url="${database.url}"
            maxActive="8" maxIdle="4"
            global="jdbc/facs" 
            />


</Context>

And in your web.xml you should something like:

  <!-- JNDI -->
  <resource-ref>
    <description>FACs Datasource</description>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/facs</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
  </resource-ref>
