Hello, I need some help with my database access application.

I am running Tomcat 6.0.16-6.4 installed from the OpenSUSE repositories. I am 
trying to connect to MySQL 5.0.51a-27.2.
I have mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar in the tomcat6/lib directory.

I have not modified server.xml or context.xml in tomcat6/conf - I include them 
for reference

server.xml
