I'm trying to upgrade my portal from liferay 6.0.5 to liferay 6.1.1

All works fine but i'm facing a big problem.
My portal is connected to a mysql database via a datasource configured via jndi in tomcat.
The portal communicates well with the database.

I have a portlet that use spring + hibernate and use same datasource as the portal.
When portal is starting Spring lookup the datasource whithout any problem.
But if i redeploy this portlet after the portal started, spring could not lookup this datasource.
I have an exception NameNotFoundException :
