res-ref for DataSource in war possible??

[jgongo]

Hi there,

I wanted to deploy an application in JBoss/Tomcat so I could be able to access a database from one of my servlets. I use res-ref to declare the DataSource reference in my web.xml file, but as long as I know, connecting this reference to a DataSource managed by JBoss means having a corresponding res-ref entry in jboss.xml. But this file is only included in EJB's jars, am I wrong?

So how can I access a DataSource from one of my servlets?

(I haven't make any try to make this work, so maybe I'm asking something stupid?)

Regards
Jose

You should put it in jboss-web.xml file which should be placed in WEB-INF.
