Getting JNDI not found on MySql/Tomcat

Question

Has anyone gotten ADF to work with MySql/Tomcat? I think I finially have the app working in Tomcat but now I'm getting an error with my pool/JNDI lookup. At the tomcat console I get this;
SEVERE: Null component Catalina:type=DataSource,path=/ediweb,host=localhost,class=javax.sql.DataSource,name="jdbc/ediconnDS"
It looks like it can't even create a connection to MySql. My app has a context.xml in the META-INF like this;
<Context>
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/ediconnDS" name="jdbc/ediconnDS" type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
</Context>
And in my server.xml I have this;
<Resource name="jdbc/ediconnDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="root" password="password" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/freightedi"/>
In my web.xml I have this resource-ref;
<resource-ref>
<description>DB Connection</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/ediconnDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
I've tried putting the resource in the context.xml... all kinds of stuff, to no avail.
I tested these connection parameters in Squirrel SQL (java jdbc based SQL tool) and it works?!
Please help :(

Tomcat isn't giving any errors on boot and I have the MySql JDBC resource in it;
in the server.xml;
     <Resource name="jdbc/ediconnDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="root" password="Slgedi01" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/freightedi?autoReconnect=true;ultraDevHack=true;capitalizeTypeNames=true;pedantic=true"/>
in my web.xml
<resource-ref>
<description>MySql Connection</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/ediconnDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
in my context.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Context>
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/ediconnDS" name="jdbc/ediconnDS" type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
</Context>
The tomcat console says;
WARNING: ADFc: JNDI failure. Unable to lookup Data Source at context java:comp/env/jdbc/ediconnDS
oracle.jbo.DMLException: JBO-27200: JNDI failure. Unable to lookup Data Source at context java:comp/env/jdbc/ediconnDS

The ADF Gui on the web page says;
Messages for this page are listed below.

Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.NullPointerException, msg=null
Anything?
