[jetty-dev] JNDI not creating database pool with com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

[Will Brown <dr.hfuhruhurr@xxxxxxxxx>]

(Reposting in this new thread under a more appropriate Subject)

I am running Jetty 7. I want to use pooled database connections so I
use the WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml quoted below.

I know jetty is reading the jetty-env.xml, because if I replace

org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource, or
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource

with nonsense strings the deployer complains.

However my java:comp/env context is completely empty. Also if I replace

com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

with nonsense, the deployer does not care. The database log shows no
activity from jetty.

Any ideas? Anyone?
