... and the web.xml file:
<web-app xmlns="

xsi:schemaLocation="
version="2.4">

<resource-ref>
<description>DB Connection</description>

</web-app>
...finally in my servlet:
Connection conn = null;
PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
InitialContext initCtx = null;
try {
initCtx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/...");
conn = ds.getConnection();
...
This code runs, but sometimes the application crashes and the server blocks... i really don't know what is the problem.
