Thanks for the very fast reply. I looked at that thread and not sure that is going to give me what I want. I'm assuming that in the thread you pointed me to there would be a someds-ds.xml in the deploy directory of JBoss. That xml will point to the database. The problem now comes in that since you have a war file with the web.xml and jboss-web.xml in it, you now can not simply copy/paste that same war file from someApp.war to someAppQA.war. Well, I'm sure the app will come up, but it will point to the same someds-ds.xml file, thus pointing to the same database. I want my someds-ds.xml to really be something like someContext-someds-ds.xml. ie: someApp-someds-ds.xml, someAppQA-someds-ds.xml. The contents would be the same, except for the actual database pointing to, uid/pw, etc. But the name would be the same name. This way, I have zero reconfiguring of my application when I promote through the different environments. The code always looks for "java:comp/env/ds/SomeDS", but each will pull from the appropriate someApp-someds-ds.xml. This is easy as pie in Tomcat. Thanks again.
