Answer 1

These imports should be removed:

import com.mysql.jdbc.Connection;
import com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement;
import com.mysql.jdbc.Statement;

Use instead

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.Statement;

If you use a DataSource your connection gets wrapped by the pool, use the interfaces.

Answer 2

Use com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource instead of com.mysql.jdbc.Driver in your context.xml. You're creating a datasource, not a direct connection.

See the Connector-J docs for more information.
