I don't have a slick trick, but what I do is get my datasources from a 
dbhelper class.  In that class I try to read from jndi, if I can't get 
access to jndi I read from a config file that sits on the classpath.  In 
Tomcat it gets the connection from jndi, for tests i create it from the 
config file.  Of course you can use a filesystem jndi implementation 
that does the same thing (so I've read), but I guess I took the easy way 
out.  Wish I had some slick way of doing this.
