Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.
Your container will be constructing a PGPoolingDataSource object, then
calling various JavaBean-property-style methods on it to initialize it.
These are methods such as setUser(), setPassword(), and setDatabaseName().
When PGPoolingDataSource is asked for a connection, it constructs a
driver URL from the various properties it is configured with and then
requests a connection with that URL.
The set of properties provided by a particular DataSource implementation
can vary -- the container is meant to use introspection to find and
invoke the property accessors.
PGPoolingDataSource does not have a "url" property, it does not provide
setURL() or similar. So I don't know what the container is doing with
that "url" parameter, but it's not being set on the DataSource for sure.
As the URL you specify never makes it to the DataSource, it's not
suprising that the information you specify there is not used.
You need to persuade your container to call the JavaBean accessor
setDatabaseName() on the DataSource before use. Perhaps you could try
adding an attribute called databaseName to your <native-data-source>
configuration element above?
This is why manually calling setDatabaseName fixes the "problem" -- but
it's the container's job to call it, as you say. So complain to your
container's vendor.. the PG datasource is working as designed, AFAIK.
