After much gnashing of teeth I figured out that I wanted to add database
connection "resource" information inside a <context> element in a
META-INF/context.xml file under the web application directory. Yes
there are other ways to do it, but this seems like a good mainstream style.
It's too bad the MySQL Connector/J and Tomcat web page (
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/cj-tomcat-config.html ) wasn't
more newbie friendly.
You can see my detailed tutorial/writeup at:
http://www.benslade.com/projects/java/tomcat/InstallingJavaTomcatMySQLOnMacOSX/
All feedback/corrections on the above web page are appreciated.
