Load mysql driver before connecting to db When deploying ACS as a WAR file in a vanilla tomcat installation, I always get an error reporting that the JDBC driver for MySQL can't be found. This PR loads said driver before establishing a connection. I tried to figure out how this is done in the ACS rpm but I couldn't. Therefore I open this PR to enable anyone that wants to deploy ACS as a WAR file. The PR also adds a dependency on mysql connector in the developer profile. Without this dependency the build will fail because the driver manager won't be able to load the driver class. I have tested this PR by deploying the resulting WAR several times, and I have to say to reviewers, that the war needs to be rename to client.war, otherwise the UI will not work.
