I've been spending some time RTFM with out much progress.

I don't know if it matters but my data source is setup under GlobalNamingResources

I do not have any context defined in server.xml instead I have the context in a file at conf/Catalina/localhost/metrology2.xml and it looks like

<Context debug="9" displayName="Metrology Lab" docBase="metrology2" path="/metrology2">
<Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader" debug="9"/>
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" debug="9" prefix="metrology2" suffix=".txt" timestamp="true" verbosity="4"/>
<Resource auth="Container" description="Oracle Datasource example" name="jdbc/ordt" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>

I didn't actually create it. Tomcat must have created it for me.

Web.xml is located in webapps/metrology2/WEB-INF and looks like

<Context debug="9" displayName="Metrology Lab" docBase="metrology2" path="/metrology2">
<Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader" debug="9"/>
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" debug="9" prefix="metrology2" suffix=".txt" timestamp="true" verbosity="4"/>
<Resource auth="Container" description="Oracle Datasource example" name="jdbc/ordt" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>

My default server.xml got overwritten when I was playing around with the admin tool and now looks like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Server>
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener"/>
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener"/>

I found a JSP page that will display my JNDI recources and here is part of what that shows

* Context: java:/
o Context: java:/comp
* UserTransaction => Reference Class Name: javax.transaction.UserTransaction Reference
type: javax.transaction.UserTransaction
* Context: java:/comp/env
* Context: java:/comp/env/jdbc
* ordt => org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource@(protected)
Url - null
DriverClassName - null
Username - null
Password - null
ValidationQuery - null
NumActive - 0
NumIdle - 0
