这是context.xml中的Resource元素::

<Resource name="jdbc/myoracle" auth="Container"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
              url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE"
              username="hr" password="hr" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
              maxWait="-1"/>

这是我在web.xml中的参考资源：

       <resource-ref>
            <description>Oracle Datasource</description>
            <res-ref-name>jdbc/myoracle</res-ref-name>
            <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
            <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
        </resource-ref>

然后@Resource在代码中使用注释：

      @Resource(mappedName = "jdbc/myoracle")
        DataSource ds;

当我尝试在ds上使用getConnection（）创建连接对象时，在运行时出现空指针异常：

但是，如果我使用initialContext查找，该应用程序将正常运行。

    Context initContext = new InitialContext();
    Context envContext  = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
    DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/myoracle");

我要去哪里错了？
