I got that same message myself many times.
Are you trying from the root context?
If so, you'll need
<resource-ref>
<description>DB Connection</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/root</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
in web.xml
and
<Context path="/root" docBase="root"
debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
....
in server.xml
that's what worked for me anyway
