Indeed. Simply swapping the Context given in

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html,

in for the Context given in

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html

makes the 4.1 example work.  This way makes it clear what has changed.

Thanks very much.
