I got it to work!  The problem was that the context.xml had to be inside the
.war.  (after pasting the context.xml to META-INF, I had to `jar -cf
continuum-webapp-1.1.war -C continuum-webapp-1.1 .`)

The context.xml I used was:

<Context>

      <Resource name="jdbc/users"
                auth="Container"
                type="javax.sql.DataSource"
                username="sa"
                password=""
                driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
                url="jdbc:derby:database/users;create=true" />

      <Resource name="jdbc/continuum"
                auth="Container"
                type="javax.sql.DataSource"
                username="sa"
                password=""
                driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
                url="jdbc:derby:database/continuum;create=true" />

      <Resource name="mail/Session"
                auth="Container"
                type="javax.mail.Session"
                mail.smtp.host="localhost"/>
</Context>

However, I also got it to work using <Context path="/some-erraneous-value"
docBase="some-other-erraneous-value">.  As far as I understand, path and
docBase are ignored when they're read from META-INF.


Is this really the most recommended way of setting JNDI?  Putting the
context.xml into META-INF and re-packaging the .war?

Thank you,
