I quite often access my data sources from servlets or pojos (usually the later unless I am doing something quick and dirty). Since I can access them from a servlet, I should be able to access them from a JSP (which is really a servlet in disguise). What you have now (java:/MySqlDS) should work, based on what you have written. What I would try next is just opening "java:", it should be a context, and then listing its contents.
