In order for the JDBC Based Store to successfully connect to the database, we need to place the JAR file containing the correct JDBC driver into [TOMCAT_PATH]\lib\ directory. Take note that if using MySQL, place the MySQL JDBC driver and if using MSSQL place the MSSQL JDBC driver (same case for the PostgreSQL, need to use the PostgreSQL JDBC driver).

Last but not least, add the following content into [TOMCAT_PATH]\conf\context.xml
