Thank you.

I can tell this is an error related to Tomcat/JNDI set-up, as I can make
a JDBC connection, as the codes state below.

                        Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
                        String url = "jdbc:postgresql:testdb";
                        Properties props = new Properties();
                        props.setProperty("user","username");
                        props.setProperty("password","password");
                        conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);

I change the following url setting 
           url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/testdb"
 to 
             url="jdbc:postgresql:testdb" 
and I have the same error. 

I remove the META-INF/context.xml, and modify the <Host> node of tge
server.xml as shown below:

      <Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

       <Context path="/someApp" docBase="someApp" debug="0"
reloadable="true">
        <Resource
              name="jdbc/postgres"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource"
              password="linux4draco"
              driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
              maxIdle="2"
              maxWait="5000"
              validationQuery="SELECT 1"
              username="gepguser"
              url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost/testdb"
              maxActive="4"/>
        </Context>
        </Host>

And, I have the same error. 

What else could I try?

We just had a thread regarding this.  Can you describe what you have
done so far to diagnose it?
