Hacked Debug.java to turn on debugging.
Hacked web.xml to get attributes ordered correctly.

Did you ever get a response to this question?
I've bumped into the same problem using

JB-2.4.4 petstore1.1.2 and Postgres7.1

I changed ESTORE_DATASOURCE in JNDINames.java and PopulateServlet.java

it now looks like petstore is connecting to the db, but it's now throwing these damn exceptions....

any insite would be quite helpful.
