Tomcat 5.5 installation

Tomcat 5.5 has different handling for JNDI resources. <ResourceParams> have been folded into <Resource> tags. So instead of providing a bunch of <parameter> <name/> <value/> </parameter> tags, you now specify them inline as attribute of the <Resource> tag. Please update the documentation to reflect this; the current "Jira under Tomcat 5.0" documentation will not work.

Also, org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory has been renamed to org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory so you should change this in all your configuration files.

I got very close to getting JIRA up and running but finally ended up getting stuck with the following Tomcat output:

I can't figure out how to make it see "java:comp/UserTransaction" even though it is declared in jira.xml. I've got it declared as:

<Resource name="UserTransaction" auth="Container" type="javax.transaction.UserTransaction"
factory="org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory" jotm.timeout="60"/>

Please let me know if you know how to solve this problem. I'd like to move to a Tomcat 5.5 server as soon as possible.
