I think I figured out what was wrong. The global should be mail/whatever. I
can still use context lookup. Problem solved.

I setup a GlobalNamingResoruces entry in server.xml

  <Resource name="mail/whatever" auth="Container" scope="Shareable"
type="javax.mail.Session"/>
  <ResourceParams name="mail/whatever">
 <parameter>
   <name>mail.smtp.host</name>
   <value>mail.whatever.com</value>
 </parameter>
  </ResourceParams>

I then added resourcelink in my webapp's context.xml

<ResourceLink name="mail/whatever" global="java:comp/env/mail/whatever"
type="javax.mail.Session"/>

First problem that I have is, if I do a context lookup, Tomcat complained
about not finding the binding, something like java:comp not bound. What I
did is

 Context initialContext = new InitialContext();
 Context context = (Context) initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env");
<= failed here
 return (Session) context.lookup("mail/whatever");

The I realized I should use globalnamingcontext. So I changed the above code
to

 StandardServer server = (StandardServer) ServerFactory.getServer();
<= failed here
 Context context = server.getGlobalNamingContext();
 return (Session) context.lookup("mail/whatever");

Now, the error message is

ServerFactory is in ${catalina_home}/server/lib/catalina.jar, so there is no
reason why class loader can't find the class.

Any idea on how do I access the GlobalNamingResource from my webapp?

Approach 2 works with Tomcat Manager.
