Okay.

Okay, the following attributes should not be used:

- - debug (ignored)
- - docBase (context.xml is already in a WAR/WARdir)
- - path (Tomcat determines the deployment path from the WAR/WARdir name)

That looks good to me.

What connection in what log?

Do you have JDBS drivers in multiple places?

Try stopping Tomcat, deleting the whole "work" directory and any cached
deployment descriptors under conf/Catalina/localhost/[webapp].xml

No.

Historically, that message ("No suitable driver") means that your
configuration is slightly wrong. Since Tomcat caches the deployment
descriptor, yours might be out-of-date, hence my suggestions above.
