@remibergsma @borisroman I'm closing this PR since I've been able to figure
out how the mysql driver is being loaded in the RPM install. It happens that
it's not enough to add the jar to tomcat's common class loader, nor the webapp
class loader. For it to work the jar must be in the class path of tomcat
itself. That is, the `CLASSPATH` variable in the environment that starts
tomcat. In tomcat terminology that is the `System` loader
(https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html)
