Running JSP on TOMCAT 7.0.50 cannot Oracle 12c on Windows 8.1 returns ORA-12505

Question

I have installed and configured and using JSP, Tomcat 7.0.50 , Oracle 12c running Windows 8.1
Oracle driver - ojdbc7.jar
I am running a basic JSP test which is failing with
Basic Test SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
This is weird because I can connect using sqlplus
SQL> conn dreamhome/dreamhome@pdborcl
Connected.
I can also connect using system to ORCL (as system). Howver PDBORCL is still  failing through TOMCAT
JSP Connection call
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
Basic Test
<%
    Connection conn = null;
    try
        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
        conn = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:pdborcl", "dreamhome", "dreamhome");
        Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM dreamhome_users");
        //Print start of table and column headers out.println("");
        out.println("");
        out.println(" "); //Loop through results of query.
        while(rs.next())
            out.println("");
            out.println("LOGIN_ID USERNAME            PASSWORD" + rs.getString("LOGIN_ID") + "    " + rs.getString("USERNAME") + "    " + rs.getString("PASSWORD") + "");
