I'll bet this is the problem. It's odd, though, since the exception is:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource
 at org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.getObjectInstance(
ResourceFactory.java:97)

Here's the code in question:

          if (factoryClass != null) {
            try {
// line 97         factory = (ObjectFactory)
// line 97 cont'd           factoryClass.newInstance();
            } catch (Throwable t) {
               if (t instanceof NamingException)
                  throw (NamingException) t;
               NamingException ex = new NamingException
                  ("Could not create resource factory
                  instance");
               ex.initCause(t);
               throw ex;
            }
          }

For some reason, his ObjectFactory isn't an ObjectFactory... it's a
BasicDataSource.

Prem, have you put any Tomcat-related JAR files into your WEB-INF/lib
directory?
