I'm very new to Tomcat, connection pooling, JSP, etc. and I've been
banging my head against a wall for two weeks trying to get a simple
program to connect to a MySQL database.
*Vital Stats:*
Ubuntu 9.10, Java 1.6.0_0, Java Servelet 2.5, Java Server Pages 2.1,
JSTL 1.2, Apache2, Tomcat 6.0.20, MySQL 5.1.41 & 5.0.67
MySQL Connector/J 5.1.11 (also 5.1.10) - in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
dbcp 1.2.1 - in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
(all standard Ubuntu issue)
*testapp/WEB-INF/web.xml:*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

I create the WAR (jar cvf testapp.war *), undeploy the old version and
redeploy the new one through Tomcat Web Application Manager. Then
restart Tomcat (sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat restart). The result is:

Blah, Blah, Blah....
*More info: *The connection to MySQL tested successfully using the
command line 'mysql'. There are no firewalls, that I can find, between
the servers.
What is going on here? What am I missing? What is going on here? How do
I fix it?
-Do I need to create a "foo" user in the tomcat-users.xml?
-Do I have to mess with the policy files? or security?
Thanks for your help.
