Try changing the above name attribute to "jdbc/starfriendMYSQL" and use
that name within your webapp code.

>    factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"

Take out the above, since Tomcat's built-in factory is really:
  org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory

> The app doesn't initialise because it can't find the db

What's the exact error message in the log?

Do you have something like the following in the WEB-INF/web.xml inside
the app:

<resource-ref>
   <description>DB Connection</description>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/starfriendMYSQL</res-ref-name>
   <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
   <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

Not clear if you need it or not, but it shouldn't hurt, as long as it
doesn't conflict with the settings in the <Context> element.
