You need MySQL Connector jar which is not in classpath. Add it in your classpath

Two ways

1) Run java app with classpath

Windows

java -classpath .;mysqljarfile.jar YourApplication

Linux

java -classpath .:mysqljarfile.jar YourApplication

2) Define it in your manifest file

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: mysqljarfile.jar 
Main-Class: mainClass

Add your mysql connector jar file to your project WEB-INF\lib folder and redeploy again.
