tomcat 6 database pooling, DataSource returning NULL connection

[Lucas Vickers]

I am trying to configure database pooling in tomcat 6.

I have:

/META-INF/context.xml :
  <Resource name="jdbc/tabscorp_tabsdb"
     auth="Container"
     type="javax.sql.DataSource"
         maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
         username="tabscorp_tabs" password="Ramsalot52"
     driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
     logAbandoned="true" removeAbandoned="true"
     removeAbandonedTimeout="60"

url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/tabscorp_tabsdb?autoReconnect=true"/>
