How to configure Tapestry5, Hibernate, Tomcat7, JNDI, Mysql - mysql

Question

I've been trying to figure out how to configure Tapestry5, Hibernate, Tomcat7, and Mysql, but have not been able to get it to work. Could someone possible tell me what I'm doing wrong?
To began with, Tapestry is already configured to work with hibernate and jetty without issue, I'm having difficulties setting up a connection pool with Tomcat7
What I have thus far.

Answer 1

It appeared to be an issue with a dependency in my pom adding conflicting classes. I was able to remove the conflicting classes from my class path and fix resolve my issue.
