Hi Edson,

the myself coded lookup works here, too.
I've tested this to check if there would be any misconfiguration in 
Tomcat config.
But I get the NullPointerException when EclipseLink wants to lookup the 
datasource during the connection try, although my lookup just a few code 
lines before doesn't have any problem.
Well, I use Jetty now. Spent enough time with this stuff. I opened a bug 
report. Link is in my first mail. If it is boring I'll do another test 
with different DB driver/pool.
