Title: Added note about JNDI Usage with tomcat

Tomcat requires to set the accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed to true in the context.xml file. Otherwise, weird errors pop up (undefined method 'meta_data' for nil:NilClass)

I'm very much not sure wether older Tomcat Versions require this and how other servlet containers work but I was following that error for quite a while until I figured this out.
