We have just moved development from Tomcat 4.0.4 to 4.1.30 to take advantage of the Ant deployment features but for the life of me I can't get the datasources to work in the DefaultContext.

If I manualy deply the app and create a Context then everything works fine, but If I use the DefaultContext then the JNDI lookup does not find and resolve the data source.

The Tomcat docs indicate this should work, and it always used to under 4.0.4 but I just can't get it to work any more, I end up with a null driver.

Here is my DefaultContext section, it is added at the end of the Host block of the config.

I hope someone knows whats wrong as I have spent two days trying to solve this already.

    <DefaultContext reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

        <Resource name="jdbc/reg" auth="Container" scope="Shareable" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
        <ResourceParams name="jdbc/reg">
            <parameter>
