I would stop here.  ;)  Don't use GlobalNamingResources unless you hav=
e
an overriding reason, as that's more of a tomcat-specific (rather than=

servlet-spec) feature.  A resource-ref should be included in web.xml
(not webapp.xml, whatever that is) for a Resource defined in the
server's JNDI tree.  Otherwise the resource is not guaranteed to be
available to your webapp in different containers.
