You forgot to read the first part of the sentence ;) " A more scalable and J2EE-conformant tactic is to use the Servlet container to manage your data source...

BTW the instructions on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationWAR clearly mention: * "The general strategy is the following:" * "Configure XWiki to use the created database.
