I don't think this has changed from earlier versions.
Currently, I have a rather large Web app that I'm
maintaining using JBuilder 2006, and I have no
problems with this.

The key issue is that you have to work with JBuilder's
management of the server8080.xml file, and the context
files.  There's plenty of good reading on editing these
files in the newsgroup archives, and if you avail yourself
to that resource, you'll save us a lot of typing.

Keywords:  "server8080" edit

Also look up datasource definition in the archives.

Finally, look at the context files in your project
dir/Tomcat/conf.  Suppose I have a context called
"commerce".  There'll be a "jb-commerce.xml" file
there, initially only when you run your server
(runtime configuration).  Do the editing thing
described in the archives.  Do the adding of
datasource definition as described in the
archives.

It works.  Once you get it to work, you'll
probably immediately grok why it works.
I remembered being befuddled the first time
I had to set this up.  But then, it was, how
do they say it?  Intuitive.

Finally, this is actually a "servlets-jsp"
or "enterprise" newsgroup topic because it's
more a question about configuring the server
and not about the database.  If you have
further questions, post to either of those
two newsgroups (but not both).

   Finally, please send responses to the newsgroup only.
   That means, do not send email directly to me.
   Thank you.
