It's really quite simple - you first need a JDBC driver for Mysql - once you have that place it in the common/lib directory under tomcat. Restart tomcat and the driver will be loaded into memory.
Once you have that - use Java code to connect to your db. That's it - you don't have to fool around with WEB-INF folders or web.xml or anything like that unless you plan on using beans and/or connection pooling classes. I know you have checked the web - but keep checking - there is a ton of info out there.
