Tomcat container datasources and Jahia 5.0.1

I'm trying to run a portlet in Jahia 5.0.1 that uses a tomcat container 
managed datasource to MySQL 5. When I add the <Context> tags (see 
example below) to tomcat's server.xml and start Jahia I get following 
exception trace:

If I remove the <Context> section from the server.xml Jahia starts and 
is happy however the portlet is not using a container managed datasource.

When the <Context> tags are in the server.xml I can run the portlet with 
Tomcat using 
http://localhost:8080/Locator/partner_search_load_action.do?zipcode=17110&distance=50&type=I&pagePid=49 
and the portlet connects using the Tomcat polled connection datasource 
and runs. So I know that the syntax and mechanics are correct for tomcat 
but why is this causing Jahia issues?
