non-jta-data-source doesn't work with Tomcat 5.5?

Hi all,

I'm using GP V2 B36 with Java 1.5.0_09 and Tomcat 5.5.17. I've been having
problems with Glassfish Persistences built-in connection pool not handling
broken connections correctly. Specifically, it seems to have problems
dealing with the fact that MySQL times out connections after 8 hours. So, I
decided to try to use the non-jta-data-source setting instead and use
Tomcat's connection pool. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I found
the following article which indicates it doesn't work unless you use a
customizer. Can anyone confirm whether this is the case?
