I am still struggling to make Vaadin application work on Tomcat. After taking care of one problem described in
Vaadin application deployed to tomcat can't start I am getting another exception that has no relation to my code. I do not have any DataSources defined in my code. All the data I am getting through the REST API calls. Nevertheless, Tomcat won't run my war file and the following exception appears in the catalina.out file:

As there is no mentioning of any of my classes, I do not know even where to look for problem. When I was running this application as a JAR file from IDE I didn't have this problem and everything was working. I even added MySQL JDBC driver to the Tomcat /lib directory, but it didn't change a thing.
Can someone please tell me what else I can do to make it working on Tomcat?
