Apparently, you did it right. But here is a list of things you'll need with examples from a working application:

1) A context.xml file in META-INF, specifying your data source:

2) web.xml which tells the container that you are using this resource:

    jdbc/DsWebAppDB
    javax.sql.DataSource

3) Hibernate configuration which consumes the data source. In this case, it's a persistence.xml, but it's similar in hibernate.cfg.xml

    org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence
