We would need to see some code and the exact error text
to be sure.

But I would say that the MySQL JDBC driver jar file not
being in classpath is a good guess.

foobar/WEB-INF/lib is where you should add it to make
it available for this web app.

shared/lib is where you should add it to make it available
for all web apps in Tomcat (other servers have similar
dirs).

Do not put it in the Java extension dir.

Roughly the same answer the OP got the other time they asked this
question.

I was not aware that this was a duplicate post.
