Answer 1

@bplso I had the same issue when I upgrade tomcat7 to tomcat8.5 on a axis2 project, try the steps given in image. It may be solve your issue. !

Step 1: Specify the connection resource in server.xml inside <GlobalNamingResources> like 
<Resource name="jdbc/name" 
global="jdbc/name" 
factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" 
auth="Container" 
type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
username="xxx" 
password="YYY" 
driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver" 
url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://host:port/dbname" 
maxTotal="10" 
maxIdle="10" 
maxWaitMillis="10000" /> 


Step 2: Specify the resource reference in web.xml inside the <web-app> like 

<resource-ref> 
<description> This is a reference to the global Resource for SQL database connetion. </description> 
<res-ref-name>jdbc/name</res-ref-name> 
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> 
<res-auth>Container</res-auth> 
</resource-ref> 


Step 3: Create a context.xml file and paste it in your project/META-INF/ path as below 

<?xml version=.1.0 encoding="UTF-8.?> 
<Context> 
<ResourceLink name="jdbc/name" global="jdbc/name" type="javax.sgl.DataSource" 
</Context>
