I want to declare global JNDI resource for accessing Mysql database with com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource as it described here http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html

It is said to edit Context.xml.

But it looks like Eclipse overrides Context.xml. Should I modify Context.xml which is located in Servers folder of my workspace?

Can I modify global server.xml to have database accessible for all applications? Or it will be overridden by Eclipse’s one?

Also I read that Context.xml can be put int META-INF. Where I can read about mechanism that processes this location?

    It is recommended to put context.xml under META-INF/context.xml in your web application.
