JNDI with Pentaho 5.3

my JNDI entries are not working with Pentaho 5.3 like the were with 5.2.

I've noticed that the tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/pentaho.xml does not reflect my resource entries after I delete and restart the server.

my resource entry looks like this:

<Resource name="jdbc/myName"
auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
maxActive="20"
maxIdle="5"
maxWait="10000"
username="user"
password="passwod"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
url="jdbcOracle:thin:@myserver.net:1521/instancename"
/>

how can I track down why pentaho is not seeing this entry?
