This is the exception which i am getting:

These are the files which i am using for the connection pool

i was placed the below configuration in /conf/server.xml :

<Resource name="jdbc/pooldb" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
 maxActive="5" maxIdle="2" maxWait="1000"                         factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory"
            driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
            url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:pooldb"/>

DBUtil1.java:

package com.iton.dbcp;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.sql.DataSource;

public class DBUtil1 {

public static Connection getConnection() throws NamingException, SQLException {

    Context initContext = new InitialContext();
    Context envContext = (Context) initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
    DataSource ds = null;
    Connection conn = null;
    try {
        ds = (DataSource) envContext.lookup("jdbc/pooldb");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    if (envContext == null) {
        System.out.println("envcontext is null");
    }
    if (ds == null) {
        System.out.println("datasource is null");
    }
    if (ds != null){
      conn = ds.getConnection("pooldb","pooldb");
    }
    return conn;
}
 }

TestServlet.java:

package com.iton.dbcp;

import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;

    super();
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

/**

        Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
        stmt.executeUpdate("create table iton(sno varchar(10), name varchar(10))");
        stmt.close();
        DBUtil.closeConncetion(con);
        System.out.println("Closeddddddddddddddd: "+con);

    } catch (NamingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
   }

Context envContext = (Context) initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");

should be:

Context envContext = (Context) initContext.lookup("java:comp/env");

The Java environment context is java:comp/env. Remove that / before comp and you should be good to go.

I think you are missing your server.xml entries. First, you need to configure the JNDI DataSource in Tomcat by adding a declaration for the resource to server.xml file, which resides inside the /conf directory of your Tomcat installation

Enter you applications specify value.

<Resource name="jdbc/your datasource" auth="Container"
   type="javax.sql.DataSource" removeAbandoned="true"
   removeAbandonedTimeout="30" maxActive="100"
   maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username=""
   password=""
   driverClassName="oracle driver"
   url="database connection string"/>

</Context>

This error:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java: is not bound in this Context

Is caused by this line:

Context envContext = (Context) initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env"); // INCORRECT

Q: What happens if you change your code to initContext.lookup("java:comp/env");?

Q: Is there any chance you've inadvertantly changed the default context?

This link might help:

What does java:comp/env/ do?

Make sure useNaming is "true":

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/funcspecs/fs-admin-objects.html

Finally,

Changing embedded Tomcat from v6 to v7 causes InitialContext lookup to fail
