Thanx, but i actually had gone this step and had placed in dist $CATALINA_HOME/lib already.
Nothing explicit in the webapp about the driver.
I am starting to suspect that this has to do with declaring the resource as global under GlobalNamingResources
and forgetting to do the proper linkage xml in context. But i think it should be placed inside
context, in the first place and scrapping the GlobalNamingResources altogether.
