Hi Wade,
Yes, I have been able to connect with a plain java class and I have been
able to connect from within Struts2 directly. It is when I try to get a
DataSource object from Tomcat's JNDI that it messes.

From a JSP page try to make a MYSQL connection using
just pure JDBC calls. It may be something to do with
your JDBC classes and the directory your JAR files are
housed. If I remember correctly I had to put my MYSQL
JAR file in the shared folder so the server could
access them. This versus having them in the
WEB-INF/lib folder. May or may not be your issue, but
make sure you can actually make a JDBC connection with
the drivers first. If not then the DataSource won't
work either.
I have never used
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
before either. Maybe comment out this line and see if
it has any impact.
