When you encounter exceptions like this  the most useful information is generally at the bottom of the stacktrace   Caused by  java lang ClassNotFoundException  com mysql jdbc Driver   at java net URLClassLoader 1 run URLClassLoader java 366          at org apache tomcat jdbc pool PooledConnection connectUsingDriver PooledConnection java 246    The problem is that Tomcat can t find com mysql jdbc Driver  This is usually caused by the JAR containing the MySQL driver not being where Tomcat expects to find it  namely in the webapps  lt yourwebapp gt  WEB-INF lib directory

I have also dealt with this exception after a fully working context xml setup was adjusted   I didn t want environment details in the context xml  so I took them out and saw this error   I realized I must fully create this datasource resource in code based on System Property JVM -D args   Original error with just user pwd host removed  org apache tomcat jdbc pool ConnectionPool init SEVERE  Unable to create initial connections of pool   Removed entire contents of context xml and try this  Initialize on startup of app server the datasource object sometime before using first connection   If using Spring this is good to do in an  Configuration bean in  Bean Datasource constructor   package to use  org apache tomcat jdbc pool    PoolProperties p   new PoolProperties    p setUrl jdbcUrl               p setDriverClassName driverClass               p setUsername user               p setPassword pwd               p setJmxEnabled true               p setTestWhileIdle false               p setTestOnBorrow true               p setValidationQuery  SELECT 1                p setTestOnReturn false               p setValidationInterval 30000               p setValidationQueryTimeout 100               p setTimeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis 30000               p setMaxActive 100               p setInitialSize 5               p setMaxWait 10000               p setRemoveAbandonedTimeout 60               p setMinEvictableIdleTimeMillis 30000               p setMinIdle 5               p setLogAbandoned true               p setRemoveAbandoned true               p setJdbcInterceptors                 org apache tomcat jdbc pool interceptor ConnectionState                   org apache tomcat jdbc pool interceptor StatementFinalizer                org apache tomcat jdbc pool DataSource ds   new org apache tomcat jdbc pool DataSource                ds setPoolProperties p               return ds

You have to add a MySQL jdbc driver to the classpath   Either put a MySQL binary jar to tomcat lib folder or add it to we application WEB-INF lib folder   You can find binary jar  Change version accordingly    https   mvnrepository com artifact mysql mysql-connector-java 5 1 27
