I have unzipped a binary distribution in C:// but I have a hard time getting the JDBC and JDNI working... It does not get the data from my database so I assume I do not have the proper configuration for the files.
Strangely, i'm able to see data with
<c:forEach var="cartItem" items="${cart.items}" varStatus="iter"/>but no data displays with<c:forEach var="product" items="${categoryProducts}" varStatus="iter"/>

2nd EDIT
I added these jars in $CATALINA_HOME/lib:
- javaee-api-6.0-6.jar
- javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-1.2.1.jar
No WAR file was exploded since as for right now i'm developing locally in Netbeans 8.0.2 but if it's the same thing as deployment the server automatically created a copy under Web Applications(pardon my ignorance if it's the same).

resource.xml is not an Apache Tomcat configurstion file. persistence.xml is not an Apache Tomcat configuration file.
server.xml must be located in the conf directory.
You have a few more options for context.xml but I'd recommend the META-INF directory of your web application.
If you want help with your configuration then you'll need to provide more information including:
Update after the above information was provided
The configuration for the DataSource is wrong. Tomcat does not support the <jdbc-resource /> nor the <jdbc-connection-pool /> tags. If support for those is provided by TomEE then I can't help you (I only know Tomcat). In Tomcat, I'd expect to see a <Resource ... /> element.
For Tomcat (and I suspect TomEE), you'll need to provide the MySQL JDBC driver JAR in $CATALINA_BASE/lib.
