Trying to install HikariCP on tomcat 7 and getting javax.naming.NamingException on startup - mysql

Question

I am trying to configure HikariCP as my datasource connection pool on tomcat 7 with mysql. Here is my context file...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context allowCasualMultipartParsing="true">
<Resource name="jdbc/application" auth="Container"
factory="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariJNDIFactory"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
minimumIdle="5"
maximumPoolSize="10"
connectionTimeout="300000"
dataSource.implicitCachingEnabled="true"
dataSource.user="root"
dataSource.password="pass"
dataSource.url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Database"/>
</Context>
But on startup I get this error...
WARNING: Failed to retrieve JNDI naming context for container
javax.naming.NamingException: No naming context bound to this class loader
How can I configure HikariCP-2.3.0 on tomcat?

may be this could help you
Configuring the Tomcat Definitions
Location of your JNDI datasource definitions depends upon the scope for the connections. You can define them globally by specifying them in Tomcat's conf/server.xml and conf/context.xml, or you can scope them to individual applications by defining them in conf/Catalina/localhost/WebAppContext.xml (where WebAppContext is the web application context for the app, basically the directory name from Tomcat's webapps directory).
<Resource name="jdbc/LiferayPool" auth="Container"
factory="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariJNDIFactory"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
minimumIdle="5"
maximumPoolSize="10"
connectionTimeout="300000"
dataSourceClassName="org.postgresql.ds.PGSimpleDataSource"
dataSource.url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/lportal"
dataSource.implicitCachingEnabled="true"
dataSource.user="user"
dataSource.password="pwd" />
