if we configure the url / db access as JNDI resource in the context  files, 
then the implementation has changed betwen tomcat 5 and tomcat6.  not sure 
about tomcat 5.5..
  
  in tomcat6, it is
  
  
<Context ...>
  ...
  <Resource name="jdbc/EmployeeDB" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="dbusername" 
password="dbpassword"
            driverClassName="org.hsql.jdbcDriver" 
url="jdbc:HypersonicSQL:database"
            maxActive="8" maxIdle="4"/>
  ...
</Context>

in tomcat 5,
 

    
<Context ...>
  ...
  <Resource name="jdbc/EmployeeDB" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
  <ResourceParams name="jdbc/EmployeeDB">
    <parameter>
      <name>username</name>
      <value>dbusername</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>password</name>
      <value>dbpassword</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>driverClassName</name>
      <value>org.hsql.jdbcDriver</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>url</name>
      <value>jdbc:HypersonicSQL:database</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>maxActive</name>
      <value>8</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <name>maxIdle</name>
      <value>4</value>
    </parameter>
  </ResourceParams>
  ...
</Context>

thanks

related to the question at hand and 
they said they had it working in tomcat 5.5.23 -- just failing in tomcat 
6.  Given it works in one version of tomcat and not another, I highly 
doubt the mysql jdbc url is at fault.  The OP needs to post portions of 
their configuration (context.xml, web.xml, server.xml) before any 
further diagnosis can be done.
