Spring fails to lookup jdbc configured Data Source?

I would not recommend putting that in the global config for Tomcat. There's no guarantee that you'll have access to it. Better to put it in META-INF/context.xml.

You didn't show your Spring config for the JNDI data source. Please include that. Nested exception is javax.naming.

NameNotFoundException: Name java:comp is not bound in this Context Shouldn't this be java:comp/env?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
