Echoing Daniel's suggestion: upgrade.

The "path" attribute is illegal, here: remove it.

<Resource> looks good: you confirm that it works properly when
username/password are correct.

Nope: Tomcat/DBCP does not catch any of these exceptions. If I change
my username/password to incorrect ones, I get an exception for each
connection attempt. My application code catches the exception and logs
it appropriately.

If you fetch the connection in a JSP and don't have any catch blocks,
the JSP compiler adds try/catch for you and re-throws the exception as
a ServletException -- servlet can only throw ServletException and
IOException.

If you use some framework (Spring, Struts, etc.) with a
front-controller, they can all be configured with their own error
handlers: perhaps you have poorly-configured one of these components.

If you wrote your own servlet, then you should read your own code
because you are probably catching and swallowing these exceptions.

How do you fetch a connection from the pool?

AFAIK, nothing: Tomcat should log any uncaught exception. Do you get a
Tomcat 500 response page with a stack trace? If not, some other
component (under /your/ control) is handling the exception - and not
the way you want it to.
