Greetings,

I have given below my codings for reference.
This is my context in server.xml.
<!-- MyServlets Context-->
<Context path="/MyServlets" docBase="MyServlets" debug="0"

<Resource name="jdbc/test" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/test">

</ResourceParams>
</Context>

My application web.xml.
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/test</res-ref-name>

Did you rename the driver lib from .zip to .jar? Tomcat will only load .jar files.

The same question has been asked in the EJB and J2EE forum.
Anyone who wants to help should go HERE.
Ravikumar Jambunathan,
Please don't post the same question in multiple forums, it creates duplicate conversations and wastes the time of those who are trying to help you. I'm going to ask for this thread to be closed.
thanks,
Dave
