That Tomcat error message basically means that there is something
wrong with your database configuration, i.e. the JDBC jar is in the
wrong place, the connection URL is wrong, the driver class name is
wrong, etc.

That all sounds good.

I don't think I've ever seen the connectionProperties attribute
before. And it looks like you are putting the MySQL connection
properties in there, that can't be right.

Any Oracle users out there want to offer some connection URL advice to
Mr. Mizas?
