Answer 1

Your problem is that broadleaf has some properties into context.xml for site and admin, and wrapped inside war. You have to change those properties according to your connection details.

Here is the big hint

14, 2014 11:35:38 AM org.apache.naming.NamingContext lookup WARNING: Unexpected exception resolving reference java.sql.SQLException: ${database.driver}

note that ${database.driver}, if you'll search inside your project you'll see that there is /src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml

This post might help you, How to run broadleaf on Tomcat instead of jettyserver..?

Answer 2

Driver :-  com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Url    :-  jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.232:3306/entrance

Answer 3

First copy the JDBC Driver's jar into $CATALINA_HOME/lib.

Then add something like the following in the tomcat server.xml file

<Resource name="jdbc/YourDB"
  global="jdbc/YourDB"
  auth="Container"
  type="javax.sql.DataSource"
  driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
  url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/YourUser"
  username="Yourusername"
  password="Yourpassword"
  maxActive="100"
  maxIdle="20"
  minIdle="5"
  maxWait="10000"/>

Then add the following in the server context.xml file

<ResourceLink name="jdbc/YourLocalDB"
            global="jdbc/YourDB"
            auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
