It should appear in catalina.out - just wait for a bit and then force a GC...

If you have a leak it will show up. Prove the leak output using a quick JSP that grabs a connection from the pool and doesnt cvall close.

My JNDI looks like that.
No log entry whatsoever anywhere though :/

        <Resource name="jdbc/Foodmart" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
                           factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" maxActive="40" maxIdle="10"
                           maxWait="10000" username="pentaho_user" password="password"
                           driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/foodmart"
                           removeAbandoned="true"  logAbandoned="true"  
                           removeAbandonedTimeout="120"
                           testOnBorrow="true"
                           testWhileIdle="true"    
                           validationQuery="select count(*) from foodmart.store;"/>
